Hi All
Late declaring to the game - had a lot going on in real life but have been keeping my receipts and reading all your posts. Belated thanks for those passing on 'well dones' for my exam pass

Brings me over budget to £159.90. Although over, my overall bank balance is looking a lot better than it has for a long time. That's because I've been staying in to study at weekends (and buying wine to have with a nicer lunch) instead of going out.
