    #36 now at £298.  Tantalizingly close to the £300 but I'm well on the way!  I think I might well spend my savings on a new laptop - struggle to download/watch films via Netflix.  We've never bothered with it before but my son offered to 'share'. Don't know if that's to do with internet speed or laptop capability.  Something to investigate....Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts.

    As expected, I collected a voucher at Morri’s this week.  I’ve also submitted a claim on TCB that should be a £40 cash back but hasn’t tracked - that would send me over my target so fingers x’d.
