    PAP - you must get the best bargains - I'd LOVE to work in Makro, although it probably wouldn't do much for my bank balance!

    About the cut-off date - probably an idea, but maybe there'll be a lot of people turning to this site and looking to try as many challenges as they can once the credit card bills have come through in January? This is such a great challenge as anyone can do it whatever their income/debt, so maybe it would be a nice idea to welcome any newbies until the end of Jan or so? Just a thought -I'm not the one having to allocate the numbers, so tell me to shut up if you want!

    I'm now up to a whopping £1.64! (I said I never have much change!).

    That's £1.62 more than I've got so far Panda :o

    I found my 2p on the pavement yesterday :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
