    Just added another £1.02p today - off to update signature in a moment.

    Jaxx: I have banked some cash...will you be updating the front page? I haven't been reading through all the subsequent pages I must confess but thought the front page was going to be the focal point...?

    I'm not nagging (honest!) - and apologies if you have just been really busy, but let me know if I have missed something crucial.

    Whoever said that this challenge is helping to increase the NSD/decrease the spending is right. The only way I'm getting change at the moment is by collecting it from OH bedside table ;) He's noticed too.

    (speaking from experience) try jiggling a knife in the slot until the key is sitting on the blade and you can slide it out. Good luck :rotfl:
