Hey Jet! Nice to see you again!
Technically I'd say you are with us, if you've got that Unnecessary £10 somewhere, anywhere! You're part of the gang!
Another good day from me, still not withdrawn the magical £10, so it's been the budgetted USB and grocery shopping for me! WOOHOO!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

Hiya everyone!
I spent 6 pounds last week on a round of tea.
This week I have been a bit naughty and spent 24 pounds on Valentines Day stuff, cards, wine (his pressie), chocolates etc but I do feel it was necassary! OH loved his pressies and we had a lovely evening so a few treats every now and then wont kill me! I will however be very good from now on (unless buying Birthday pressies as I have 3 birthdays coming up before March 18th).Debt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done

Ah Shiney, I think we can let you off for spreading a little bit of love on Valentines Day...
PC Plod and I agreed not to spend any money on Valentines this year as neither of us really have it spare with New York coming up etc, but I did get the sweetest text message, so I was a very happy lady!
Another day, and a day off for me. Not planning on leaving the house today, and got food in the fridge and freezer so dinner is taken care of...and should be another no spender!Wealth is not measured by currency0
