    I forgot to post last week managed £16.00 then.

    This week has been amazing fun (I graduated!) but not the cheapest so £1.90 this week. It all helps though :)

    And I'm still pretending my student loan doesn't exist until I earn enough that they ask for it! :p

    Congrats Betty - bet that felt pretty good :)

    Guess what, I found my £15! Apparently, I very sensibly put the money in my business card holder to keep it safe. (I blame the wine for forgetting). I used the card holder on Monday in a meeting with a big potential funder. Was quite amusing as £15 fell on the table between us as I tried to pull out a card to give them!

    £4.50 this week. I need that £15 for a birthday present this weekend!
