    I made a video showing Jemma what I was doing - turned out she was doing the same but it wasn't working.

    I only put it up temporarily, but took it down afterwards - it wasn't going to become a Youtube hit ;)

    I only put it up temporarily, but took it down afterwards - it wasn't going to become a Youtube hit ;)


    I beg your pardon??!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think you may have sent me the wrong video....??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not at all, it just shows that you're extremely organised.

    Did I manage to find them all, am I correct in that there wasn't a challenge for Christmas week?

    Thank you for the thanks everybody.

    I concur ;)

    In 100 days since this challenge started we have paid off a massive £230,684!!!

    That means that we've collectively been paying off
    :T:T:T £2,306.84 PER DAY
    :T:T:T


    Can't wait to update the total for Feb and see how much more we've paid off given that most people's payday is towards the end of the month... :j
