    So, feeling a bit like Bilbo Baggins today, I'm in the Mirkwood at the foot of the tree, it's the final climb before I can take a deep breath.  Balance is now in the teens.

    16 - £7315.69 for November please, hoping I can still magic up a few more ££ before the month end.

    Mant thanks Julicorn.
