    Hi everyone!

    Long time no see. Unfortunately I have fallen off the wagon and my spending is out of control...

    I need help urgently. Can I pledge £5 for this week please?
    I understand if it's too late to join.

    ETO, how the devil are things?

    Glad to be back x x x

    Welcome back MissMelLady. Of course it's not too late. Sorry things have gone a bit awry. Hopefully we can get you back on the straight and narrow. :D good to have you back.

    Things are good here thanks. My little baby boy is 10 weeks old now. I just don't know where time is going. :D

    Monday was a nsd, and today and yesterday I have spent £5 in total, which ain't bad at all. That's 20 since Sunday. Am well on way towards staying within my limit.

    Progress so far is £20 / £30, which means I have £10 to play with until end of work today :) I don't have any reason to spend today, so will prob come £10 under budget.
