    hi wilf55

    Thanx for that, it's a combination of working myself to death in the NHS in overtime and the savings I'm making by giving up smoking just over 6months ago. Have fun and good luck.

    Cheers

    Didn't get to carboot this weekend didn't think I'd make enough to cover pitch so will wait until after my holidays. On a more positive note I opened my £2 bank, don't count this is into my total until I open it, and I have £180 to add to my total from there and have wiped my £2 challenge total back to zero. There was £210 in it altogether but £20 was £1s so gave that to my dad for his bank. Also gave mum £10 as I know she must've put some of those coins in! My total is now £275.

    Hi MM and Wilf55

    Thanx for the kind words, much appreciated x am just trying to make the most of the surplus work at the moment, not sure how much longer it'll last with the economy the way it is, they may try to cut down our overtime at some point like they did a year ago, so just taking advantage of the larger work load at the moment lol. Have just opened another operating theatre and they are busy building another, so hopefully it'll last for a while still.

    Well done everyone on your achievements. Keep up the good work.

    MM congrats on your amazing win, if you need any tips for you stay in London let me know, and I can lookup some things for you.

    Cheers
    Casper
