    Hope you all had a good christmas, I've overspent a bit on my food budget, so I'm menu planning like mad now til next payday.

    I haven't put much away in my pot as I wanted to save £2 coins, maybe I'll have to merge all my '10p and under' pig money or it'll be a long time filling up!

    I suppose at least we are all saving and that's a bonus in itself eh?

    Best wishes to everyone for 2008 in case I don't get on here til after New Year :beer: .
    A penny saved is one you don't have to earn! :wave:
