    Absobloominlutely keza! :) What number were you/do you want? #10 is the next free one or you can keep #63 if you want?

    Housekeeping - do people like a running total - or do you like a monthly vague update or a complete surprise at the end of the year?

    Hi,
    Can I join again please? Shall I keep #132 because that was my number last year? I don't want to be a nuisance so let me know if it's easier for you if I have a new number.
    Good luck with your savings everyone!

    Personally i like running totals. But seeing as you're doing all the work, then plump for whatever is best/easiest/makes most sense to you.:D

    Hi Tracy - I've given you #11 if that's ok? I don't think we're going to get anywhere near 100 members this time so it's probably a good time for a renumber :)

    Well done everyone! DreamerHelen - hope your day is ok and that you've heard from the hospital!


    Well, I was sat at work waiting for a process to run and it was taking a while and I'm huffing and puffing waiting for it - so I logged into my online National Lottery account as I thought I had a couple of quid left from when I used to have a bit of a scratchcard habit :p

    I did.....so I bought my final scratchard ever...............and won £60! :j:j:j:j:j I ummed and ahhed over transferring it into my VSP or my normal saving account as I do't really want to make my VSP too fat of a pot if that makes sense. And I know it's not really what the VSP is about. But this is money I had no idea was coming and feels like a wee gift and so I've transferred it into my VSP :T:T:T


    I'll set up a spreadsheet this weekend and try and keep a rough total of where we are :)

    WAHEYYYYYY...Well Done Nix!!!! That's fantastic news on the Scratchcard :D


    I spoke with the Hospital this morning...they weren't much help to be honest...they said I'll just hear about a Date when they are ready....either by letter or phone....So, not helpful really!! :(


    Feeling a bit rubbish physically but am trying to stay in good spirits... :)
