    At the top of the thread you have a green bit with quick links etc in, click the User bit, then edit signature.

    No idea about the colours, never worked that out x

    Been and topped today, spent £8.46 which takes me to £65.85 for the month, which is ok. No more buying till Friday though. It was just fruit today and some hot chocolate for a treat.
  • Please add me in for £250

    When you're typing a post, or editing your sig, you should see a box that says 'Fonts' then one that says 'size'. Next to those is an 'A' with a black bar under it.

    Select the text you want to change, then click on the bar and pick your colour.

    Not sure how you do it on a phone.

    HTH
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    Hi there well week one and I went over budget :( not too bad though. I spent £33 but I did get quite a lot and I bought washing powder, fabric softener and washing up liquid which will hopefully last the month :)
  • Hi

    Hopefully updated signature now.
