    Hi my HB, I saved number #8 especially for you 😉

    I will check the update forms when I get home as I can't view very well on my iPad and I'm at my parents house.

    Do you want to set a target?

    Hi and welcome to the back end of December,

    I have had a great Christmas with my nieces and nephew, still got presents to open as we had so many so we are opening more today,

    I have been woken up by the eldest neices bounding into my room shouting happy birthday at the top of her lungs nearly jumped out of my skin

    It's lovely to be greeted this way on your birthday not so much at 6am....

    Any upwards and onwards for another day of presents and all about me and not Jesus :)

    Oh yes! I'll go for £250 again please on the grounds I will average £5 a week if I always round to the nearest £10, and perhaps a bit more at the end of each month so long as we don't go overdrawn!
