    Course you can join Determined diva, grab a pot, and MrCrimeFiction will be along in a bit to add you to the gang. Looks like its going to be a good year and a friendly place to hang out.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    I have tried to click on the spreadsheet link but it's saying that I don't have the owners permission. What am I doing wrong?

    Up to £7 for me today. I am going to stick to £1 daily as I think it will prevent me from dipping into it. Such an effective way of being prepared for next Xmas. :)
