    Congratulations, that's a good amount to win on the PB. I put some money in PB 3 months ago & have had a win each month, but only small ones. It all helps!

    Excellent news on the win!
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
