    I don't think you are as far behind as you think Makingabobor2. If you were doing 1p, 2p, 3p etc, by the end of April, you would have saved £72.57, so you have done well.

    Morning all, I'm back from my latest charity hike :) We are doing JoGLE (John O'Groats to Lands End) @enthusiasticsaver and have so far walked JoG to Arkholme (just north of Lancaster). Going back in September to (hopefully) walk Arkholme to Stoke on Trent.

    I'm checking in for two weeks' worth of potting this morning as I usually update on a Friday.

    Random numbers picked for week ending 14 April were: 286, 156, 291, 351, 316, 4 and 329 = 1733
    Random numbers picked for week ending 21 April are: 112, 272, 76, 189, 232, 167 and 136 = 1184

    So a total of £29.17 going across today.

    #45 new total in the pot is £212.33

    Have a lovely weekend everyone, and special thanks to @enthusiasticsaver for running this challenge!
