    Thanks for running this thread - I would have offered but I'm already managing two, but happy to be an admin on this one like I was last year.

    Sad that we didn't see Ellie return, I hope all is well.

    Can I join for this year, as this is the challenge that allows me to cover presents each year. £365 saved in Amazon vouchers (from Quidco/TCB/Gift Cards)

  • Hi :hello:

    I've updated your total triple choc chip and added you to the list Westie.

    I'm not on here quite as much as usual, I'm getting married in May so not as much free time, trying to be mse with it all though, this weekend I've been finishing my artificial bouquet :D

    Hope everyone is doing ok, and keeping warm, it's freezing at the moment!
