    Hi
    Is it too late to join this?  I have £90 saved already towards Xmas?  Happy to play catch up if allowed. Thanks
    Never too late - welcome to the team...you might need to make sure that kdalwayskint gives you a 'number' (but (s)he may be busy/out of action at the mo!).

    #36 is now up to £279, thanks to having no gym subscription to pay this month, along with loads of Covid-19 surveys on Prolific.  Sadly, the saving in subs is equalled by the increase in BMI!

    #36 now up to £285.  It would be higher but I really can't put the money I've saved on hairdressers in too.... it will cost far more than the normal £35 to get back to 'normal'.... whatever that is!
