    Hi Ellie...Can I join again please? I failed miserably this Year and had to drop out but I've already started and am going to try to aim for £1000 if that's okay....I'm already at £45 so far...

    If I can have number 13 that would be great but if not I'm happy with whatever number you give me...

    Thanks for running this Ellie... xXx :)


    Hello again Dreamer Helen,


    Number 13 is yours.


    Good Luck!
