    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    Another good day from me, still not withdrawn the magical £10, so it's been the budgetted USB and grocery shopping for me!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!

    I managed to last today until I got home and had an early dinner with PC Plod before he went on night duty... otherwise it could all have gone so very wrong!

  • 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).

    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!
