    Hi Cathybird just 15 next month for me please as failing on reaching the 20 due to spending on the garden.  Thanks x
    hi SuperSavingD - thanks, have added you to the list. I was going to comment anyway more broadly that in my experience on MSE going back over the years it's nearly always people who set really high targets who drop out of challenges and that's really frustrating! It seems to me so much better if people set lower, more sustainable targets and stay with it.

    Well done bloomfelt and hope your finger will be okay - sounds painful :(, have you tried tea tree oil? I always find it very good on cut fingers etc, it stings but gets rid of the redness and swelling - unless the cut is worse than that? ...
    Thanks cathybird. It's a bit too deep for tea tree deep enough that i really should have gone to a&e (i don't do anything by halves) on the plus side my dsd who is constantly asking to use the craft knife had to help get the strips on and has now decided that she no longer wants to use the knife  :lol:

    Just had an afternoon sorting my finances. It turns out May will be extra tight financially so I'm going to try for 20 NSDs. Thanks cathybird :)
