I'm completely new to this, but would love to try this starting at £5 a day please. Yesterday I got details of a very old bank account and £6.67 was in it ad transferred to my bank...don't know if it counts, but if I didn't see this challenge I wouldn't have thought about looking for it! Thanks for doing this...

Thanks for that Fairyclicks. Think I may make myself a template of the parcel size, got a feeling there's going to be a few mistakes the first couple of weeks, hopefully not too costly.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Few bits to add - £15 gift, £12 refund from DS1's school that I didn't expect and 1p roadkill :rotfl:

Still way off target though! Congrats to everyone who has met target already Xx
