    Best of luck to everyone and Happy New Year :beer:

  • Morning all - last post for me on the 2014 thread - | did succumb to purchasing a green wool skirt, whi55tle jeans and a frock by G30rge for a pricey sum of £4.99 in a charity shop


    Anyway will update my signature in a mo - think I just about stayed on budget again this year.


    I wasn't sure if to sign up for next year as I have been doing this challenge since it began
    but I know it keeps me on track and so I will see you all over in the 2015 thread.


    Well done to all and keep it up everyone :)
