    nomi01 - sorry to hear about the tumble dryer, stock up on airers instead, there's only two of us here though so not much washing to do

    Cally- to be honest its been on its last legs for a while, I have had it for almost 9 years and its been repaired twice. It was a gift from my parents when my girls were born. I wont afford a new one that is as good but I think when I have to replace it I will buy a more basic model.

    Update on soapnuts for laundry- they arrived today and I have done 2 loads with them. They clean great. The only slight issue was that they have absolutely no scent and I like a bit of fragrance, so I put a tiny bit of fabric softener in the 2nd load n it came out great. Should save me a fortune.

    Spreadsheet is up to date so far -
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApBpGW_04zuodGF5bzZzM0RoWW5DR1MtX3JFWkhYdXc#gid=0

    I still need totals for June from quite a few members.

    If you are not doing monthly running totals, can you please send me a PM with a current total :)

    Thanks

    We've had a couple of dry days and the sun even got out for a bit yesterday. It's overcast again now though.

    I did a good thing last night and installed a mobile thing on my website. It checks if someone is viewing using a mobile phone or tablet and gives them the mobile skin/look :) I'm hoping that it will encourage more users and stop the "i can't access your website" comments.

    Just got to add an adsense mobile advert to it now, lol

    I am back, although, I havent really been anywhere.

    I dont really have time to post and only check this once a month to update the totals. Sorry folks just really busy.

    I have updated everything that has come in. We are nearly at £60k

    Well done everyone and have a prosperous July.x

    I sent you a PM on the last day of June and then a week or so later as you hadn't added the total on your spreadsheet.

    We've had 31 totals submitted for June along with 2 new members signed up for the challenge, 2 drop outs and a total of 10 people completing the challenge so far

    :)
