    I found £5.00 yesterday while I was walking the dog!  No one else was around I felt excited then a pang of guilt. I left it on the side yesterday in case someone posted something on FB. (Over thinker) anyway today I potted it.

    Welcome and I have added you to the list. Not sure if you intend to report regularly but if you do your number is 101 and if you could do monthly or weekly reporting in bold on the thread so I can easily spot it that would be appreciated. 

    What is your target?

    An Australia trip sounds very exciting but expensive.
