Hello and welcome! I'm glad my diary has given you some inspiration, you won't regret doing this challenge and £150 is in no way meagre. When it gets to December you will find £150 can make all the difference at a demanding time of year.:)
River.Bee your number is 84
Good Luck

Hello everyone and welcome to our newest members,
Those £££'s are certainly adding up now and what fantastic amounts we all have. We're well into the swing of this challenge now and I've saved my first new pound coin (they remind me of three penny bits, showing my age:o)
Great totals for everyone as usual, keep it up and don't worry if you are not spot on target at the moment, there is plenty of time to make up any shortfall if you want to and if not, just remember the saying "Every little helps". You will be amazed at the difference even a small amount will make when shopping for Christmas.
Take care
