    Slowed down on the saving, about £50 a drift but I am hoping to refocus and start putting Facebook sale money into the pot and £2 coins as and when I get them.
    #75 £132/£334
    I'm feeling glad that I have managed to save something, something is better than nothing. I am hopeful that this will get me out of the debt vicious circle that I seem to get myself in every post Christmas.

    Still plenty of time to save LP and £132 is a good amount anyway;)
