  • Hi there, can I join in please. Hoping to be away next Xmas so it would come in handy to take with me, as presents will have bought early but extra spending money means I can treat family to a nice meal before I go.

    Thanks Ellie.

    It has worked so well for us this year, would be silly not to carry on the tradition.
    :)

    Also... forgot to say, we are doing £2 a day (My OH and I both contribute £1 a day).
    So can we get put down for £730 if possible??

    Thank you again.
    Hugs.

    Morning, I'd like to join this challenge, I'm undecided as to save online or use a tin, I don't withdraw cash very often, I will have a think over the weekend.
