    Hello!  I hope you don't mind me sneaking in at the back....  Lots of stuff has happened since I was here last and I want to make sure my spending is under control as I no longer have guaranteed work.  As we are halfway through the month I'm just going for 5 no spend days which does not include my weekly food shop or when I need to get petrol (or any direct debits for mortgage/water/council tax etc)
