I'm having problems keeping up with the posts :rotfl:
I'll be right back with an update on your number and set your target at £3920 to reflect the extra day in 2008

Really sorry about that and I'm really sorry to see Mumzy leave! Oh, Mumzy... I'll visit you often in the sealed pot challenge, smoking quitters and grocery challenge and feel free to pop in here anytime

Well, that has changed things a little, so, would you mind slipping in at number 2 so we don't have a gap? Thank you in advance and I've already updated post one to reflect the changes

002. Whitetigeress333 - £3920

Thanks for the number hun
have now updated my sig
the kids will be making sure we stick to it as well....lol

PS if you want to give the number back to mumzy and give me another number that would be fine hun
just let me know

Numbers all updated -welcome Truthseeker and FrankieM, thank you for joining

Truthseeker... can you give us a brief idea of your living situation so people understand how you can fix such a low target figure? It seems impossible to live on £1500 a year if you have household utility bills, food and clothing to pay - are you in houseshare or still at home?

OOPS! Would help if I actually remembered to include the numbers here LOL

Mumzyof2 - 84
Truthseeker - 85
FrankieM - 86
