    hi is there anyway I can save threads like this one - so i dont have to trawl through the lists to get to it? Im new so im clueless.
    Thanks:)

    I'm new too and am having the same problem. So, I'm also eagerly awaiting the reply to your question. I am trying to follow the Virtual Pot Challenge, the extra payment a week, and the eating from the freezer threads.

    Anyway, hopefully, someone will help us Newbies soon.

    Hi All,

    Extra payment today of £3.00.

    That makes my total £3.00, as it's the end of my first week.

    Need to update my signature.
