Hi all
Managed to get to £8.22. Quite enjoying this to be honest. But like Georgia, not sure if i'll make it (£150.00- who am i kidding??) but will give it a try. At the very least I will have £8.22 in my pocket that I didn't think I would have.
Good luck everyone.
Sorry, am now at £8.48 (just checked signature)0 -

Another £4.42 for me bringing total now to £31.50. I am happy with this as I do try to avoid spending money so do not expect to have much change. Have lots of Tesco vouchers storing up for Christmas so will be ok. I am enjoying this challange and am sticking to it without any dipping in as I used to. Best of luck to everyone.:T0
