    I'd love to join in please. My aim to get £5000 so my 1% will be £50.

    I can't wait to get started :)

    EDITED TO SAY - I have actually started. I cancelled an order for a new tumble dryer this morning as a friend of a friend was selling an almost new one for £80 (instead of the £180 I was going to pay brand new) and I've also canceled a direct debit for an unused membership which is saving me £50 over the course of a year so I'm declaring 3% of my target reached already :)


    I'm well on my way to my next percent as well as I returned £21 of things I ordered online today for a refund as I decided I no longer needed them :)
