Hey, £10.37 by today! Woo hoo! The £3 increase was largely due to change from my main shop for the next 7-10 days, and a few spends yesterday on early Xmas pressies.
£75 may just be achievable!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -
Now at 26.23, so another £2.46 this week. May not make the £75 target but definately going to make £50 (I hope )
