    Hey everyone, sorry for being AWOL for so long!

    I see a couple of new people would like to join so I'll update totals and give out some numbers.

    I don't even know how much I have in my pot but it trickles through each week so I know I'm still saving :)

    I've updated the totals and given a couple of newbies a number.

    My total at the moment is £240.

    Has anyone started buying bits for Christmas yet? I haven't, I don't think I'm organised enough!

    Keep saving for Christmas 2019 :)
