    Off the blocks - todays £ potted - took homemade soup to work. What an empty hollow sound it was but at least its a start.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • May I join please?
    I'm not sure if what I will save will be for Christmas next year,as I'm saving for a car.
    Would it also be okay if I put more than just £1 when I can afford it? Thank you.

    There are no hard and set rules so just put away what you can when you can.
