    updated sig!

    i am quite proud of that.

    I have £100 in my xmas savings account. I have just under £90 from quido so topped it to £100 from my current account.

    I am not sure if this is cheating a bit, but my kids have money boxes full of change. They want to buy some stuff so they have £5.50 each in change. They cannot go to the shop with 1/2/5p so will give them their money each & have the change for me.

    Ahh well, it's all towards christmas!
