  • Perfect Mumzy! thanks! :D
  • I'll aim for £500. To be on the safe side! Hopefully more I've got a 4.5 litre bottle to fill!

    Well, seeing as mine will be 2 years worth I'd better go for £1000

    I did my 2008 budget because I pretty much know what we'll bring in and what the expenses will be. So it's easy, remember 2008 is only a few weeks away and I always do the budget yearly.

    I bought one of those sealed tins from pound land today, ready for the 1st December also.

    I've had loads in the past but keep opening them. It's a waste of money, so this one I shall definitely keep un-opened for the next year.

    I have a very low income as I am a single parent of 2 girls, so I shall set a realistic target of between £200-£250 :)
