Welcome aboard moneyonmymindsam,
When Helen pops in she will give you a number and add your target and progress to the first page.
In the meantime, keep us updated - we are a friendly bunch and will be cheering you on from the sidelines.
We are all in it for the long haul - this is definitely a stroll not a sprint for us allYou are out of the starting block already with £1 more than you had yesterday.
Dobbi

That I've got to see. :rotfl:
It drives Duncan mad, he can hear her, but can't see her. He stands up against the glass, which I don't mind until he starts scrabbling against it. I introduce them as much as possible without stressing Donna out, and it seems to be helping. At least he's stopped barking at her noises.

Shuffled some money around from various pots. Scraped enough together to pay mum back a whole £1000
So I'm adjusting my target to £2000, and I have £6.25 to start it off

Hi Helen
Back from holiday now so I’ve worked out the damage to my fund, almost 3 weeks away took £400 from my fund which isn’t bad considering it was a special hol!
My pot now stands at £5450, 76% of my target.
