  • Hi All, declaring £2580 for October, which takes me just over my £24k target for the year :j:j:j. I am delighted with that total. As always huge thanks to SF for running the challenge and I will definitely be signing up for the 2018 challenge.

    Apologies; I didn't realise how long it was since I had last done it :o I've been really busy launching my first course on my blog which has taken me much longer than I thought it was going to take! It's all about reducing your food spend so I'm hoping it'll help people :)

    I like the sound of that! Have you got a link? :)
