    Thank you kdalwayskint.  Its been a very strange start to the new year.  I'm so glad I have these challenges to provide some distraction.

    No.5 reporting in with a new total of £51 so far - I'm determined to save more this year - focussing on Xmas'21 and hoping it will be very different to 2020.
