thanks husband stealer (only kidding but i do wish i had thought of that name lol)

well as from the 2nd of jan i will not buy /consume any alcohol i think i should leave it till then as i live in Scotland and have a few parties to go to in the next few days but that should save me quite a bit

and the thing that is gonna kill me from the 2nd i will not purchase any chocolate

arghh what have i done...it should save me quite a bit (and help the weight) but it's gonna hurt

just as a side line have you ever seen them in concert?

wrote this after you had written 95 (didnt want to take up space on your challenge)

see now that is just making me sooooo jelous i have only seen them once but i have to admit it was one of the best gigs i have ever been to i keep checking out to see when they are playing again but there is nothing on their site

A very late update from me...have been back to the UK and was back in Berlin for NY. Bought a couple of beers, Becks with green lemon, aka 2.5% so not only did I spent about a fiver, I didn't have the almighty hangover the next day (unlike my OH lol!)

Had a glass of wine with dinner last night, which OH paid for (will let him come to visit more often!) and my downfall, I did buy us a kebab today, so that was €5/£3.50 , however he said he would buy my water filters (€19/£13.50) if I bought the kebabs, so this seemed like a good deal to me!

He goes back to the UK tomorrow, so it is then that my challenge will start in earnest. Think the money I am saving will go into a spending money piggy bank for the summer, woo! (Which I managed to get a shiny new Percy Pig piggy bank in the sales as a late Xmas present, how very MSE!)

Glad to hear everyone is doing well, keep it up!

I'm still on target, despite feeling really down and looking at the magazines in Asda tonight after work, looking for somethin to cheer me up! I didn't give in though, very proud of myself!

My pot now has £43.81 in it.

Still utterly amazed at how much I was spending.

I have decided to spend the money on ME ME ME at the end of the month!

Well done to you others!

Oh! And I am NOT MISSING THE MAGAZINES EITHER!
