  • Hi please can I be added to the list?

    I have my direct debit set up to go weekly, never miss it and it's always handy at Christmas!

    I've been doing this for a few years now, I don't get on mse very often but I'm still saving :)

    Currently at £119/£365 hoping to put a bit extra away this year but not sure what that figure might be at the moment.
    new challenge?
