Welcome, ButterflyBee
Patman will be here soon to give you a number.
I don't post on here much now as I made my target after a year of strife over expensive emergencies that gave me many sleepless nights. How long it stays intact is another matter but that's what it's there for after all, to use when emergencies strike;).
The camaraderie on here is inspiring and it's thanks to patman for setting up the challenge and all the other lovely posters who help each other through the rough times:A
Good Luck:beer:0 -
