  • Hi all

    Mr CF, thank you for your PM. I've submitted a form but i have a feeling I haven't remembered my challenge # correctly (I couldn't find a list in the forum?). I also couldn't remember my google mail password for the spreadsheet so will be sorting that when I get home from work.

    I've definitely paid in £1 each but other half has been popping the odd one in here and there so I'm hoping we will have a lovely total for Christmas :)
    LBM no. 2 £20k :eek:

  • Hello knell77 and welcome to the friendly forum :j

    Hopefully you'll be able to catch up quickly. I will add you to the spreadsheet next time I do an update. You will slot in perfectly :D

    Have a read of post 1 to understand the instructions and be able to see the spreadsheet.

    I won £100 on the local raffle so I put £20 of it into the pot to boosts this months total :)

    I hoe everyone else is doing grand!
