    Alas it seems that Dizzycap has been banned. I thought it was unusual for her to be so quiet. What a shame :/

    Not today spent £1.30 on lunch, going for  cheapest options nowadays, and numbers going in somewhat right direction. This despite losing £'000s due to deprecating US$, more reason to keep going and more importantly clear as much debt as possible - no taking even 1 penny for granted.
