Thank you so much to whoever posted the recipe for home made oven chips. I made them last night and they really were frugalicious. Totally agree about not going back to ready made!

£16.83 for me today to start the month.
Also the water came out of my account, which although it isn't counted was a bit of a blow as Ithought this was one of the months 'off'. It must be March and April instead. No Council Tax though which was a bonus!"Stay Wonky":D

Oh Mollymop5 we are nearly twins! I have to declare 352 but I'm determined to find my frugal figure this year.Jot that down plz Nyk - then erase it from your long term memory! Actually, my theory is, that the more you got, the easier it must be to lose a foot! And yes, you guessed it, I have unusually thick wrists!

Thank you to all those brave people who have posted their 'figures' and come on Keren, the 'how to' guide is several posts back now and most people will skip it and won't have a clue what the numbers are anyway
If it's any help, my waist is twice the size it was when I was 20 and I don't want it three times the size by the time I'm 60, so grab that measuring tape. If you can measure using just one tape then think how easy it will be to drop your figure by 12. If you need 2 tapes, then aim to cut down to 1 by the 29th :T
Now, I'm off to start my free cycling - doing it in stages and using the calorie meter, hope to build it up each day without boring myself to tears or crippling myself :rotfl: When I get back, I'd like to know what people think of:eek: Mr William Power :eek:
Am saying no more other than the fact that he may possibly become the most important person you ever had the pleasure of knowing and, because it's a leap year, us ladies are allowed to propose!
Will you become Mrs William Power in 2008? :cool:I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
