Evening all,
The total PAD for 5 December 2022 was £277.51
Sorry it's so late in the evening for the update, had a long day today and I'm just catching up with myself.
I think this one speaks for itself...
Glad you're liking the quotes @LittleMissDetermined 🤗.

Oh I really hope so @LittleMissDetermined! I'm going to visit my friend in Nairobi, Kenya in 2024 and I want to be able to pay for my tickets with my sealed pot, or at least have a good chunk of the cost available to me. It's amazing what a goal can do to motivate you to save your coins 😂.
