    My understanding luckystarr is that unless you use vouchers to pay for the entire amount or you buy only yellow stickered stuff then you count it as a spend day - plan, plan and plan some more!

    Please add me to this months challenge Kat. I have de-lurked and re-registered on MSE after a long long lay off. Hoping that this will give me the motivation required to clear last lot of debt for good. Will do a signature in time for the 1st.
