  • Well done Westie. Fingers crossed for things turning a corner for you.

    I am still here, saving. I am just not saving much as I have been paying off my xmas credit card when my xmas earnings weren't as good as expected. The taxman took too much and I am waiting for my tax code to be corrected. Sigh.

  • Final total for February £500 #80, so that is a grand total of £1,000 for the year thus far. I really need to up my available money, but at the moment I'm feeling overwhelmed with other projects. I have invested money elsewhere, that will either fly or bomb #WhoKnows
