  • Hello, it's Moonbean on a brand new account.
    I'd like to switch to this account please, if possible.

    I'm going to have to start at £0.00 because I am really barely scraping through this month.
    I literally have no money left and I need the £4.00 for bus fare.

    I'm just a numpty for putting it in a tin that I cant open properly aha.

    Morning PP, I've updated your name on the list;)

    Don't worry about keeping up to date for this month, you may be able to catch up throughout the year...and if not whatever you save will help towards next Christmas;)

    Brilliant! You do get into the swing of this very quickly and like you say you don't really miss it which is the great thing about this challenge:D
