  • Tink - just noticed your sig. Well done on the £2013 in 2013, already achieved. How did you do that?

    Thank you ETO! I'm a full time student and somehow managed to survive off my student loan (giving myself a budget each month!) and so any money I earned from working, ebay, loose change I put towards my 2013 target and I made it! :T

    Today has been another NSD so budget still in tact! :j

  • I went over last week, spending £34 instead of £15. We needed some extra food and I ended up taking my little girl to a soft play centre when it was raining.

    I know the week's already started but can I pledge £15 again as I haven't spent anything so far!

  • I spent £18.30 today. My daughters both spotted some slippers and their old ones are horrid now so I bought them a pair each, and I treated them all to dinner out. Hopefully I can have NSD's the rest of the week!
