Time for my weekly update £2.76 added - brings my total to £8.15;
I've not been out spending much but managed to get a little change from buying medicines and petrol. I'm going to make a serious effort to catch up with some of you supersavers over the next few weeks!... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

I'm not up to 4.14 but it has been pretty much a no spend week really - well I find my self spending on my debit card rather than getting the cash out which defeats the object.

Hello All,
I counted up my pennies over the weekend and have finally sorted out my signature so thought I'd let you all know how I'm doing so far. Seeing my debt situ in plain b&w is really quite scary.
Must say, this challenge is quite addictive and I find myself secretly hoping to get lots of 20p's in change. A bit sad and pathetic I know ;-)
Wishing you all lovely weeks, keep the spending low!
Cheers,
NTL
