Good work girls.  I am back in after a few hectic months.  Have taken inspiration from Gert also.  Am going to try a week of not going into Supermarket.

I think Gert has reignited this thread - it's so easy to slip back into the old ways of overbuying but after reading what Gert has been up to, it does make you think before you buy.  Thanks Gert.

This says it all in my opinion. I am definitely a nut case.
