    Good Morning All :)

    First of all, apologies for any spelling mistakes from this point on. My laptop has broken so i am borrowing my sons. It is a nightmare! It needs a good clean because some of the keys are sticky!

    I still made it into work, despite feeling lousy, but am having today off.

    So i have done days 1,2 and 3 :)

    Well done to all of you for keeping on track! Are any of you keeping track on how much you are saving by taking your LTW's? What are you planning on doing with the money you are saving?
    Clearing debt is always a good start! Or saving money if you are DF.

    I am planning on saving mine.

    Welcome to all the Newbies, i have added you all to here.

    Whats on the menu today for lunch? For me, Its a BLT sarnie, with some nuts and veg sticks.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Seventh Anniversary
    WantToBeSE glad to see you're feeling better. :)

    I also had day 5 yesterday :j

    5 in a row, I didn't buy anything this week, no coffees, no lunch, no snacks. I can't quite believe it. Just shows what you can do with some planning and the support of people here. :money:

    Next week's challenge will be to go for walks during lunchtime and not buy anything. I think I'll leave my purse at work the first time, so I won't even have the option!
