  • Please count me in even if it is almost the end of July. I'm aiming for the £100 Piggy Bank Saver.

    Hard thing is that the parking meters here take 10p and 20p or 50p. I try never to use more than the 30p parking so that makes things a bit rough. Oh well, maybe I can walk more and lose some weight as well.
