    Sorry to hear about your other half's gall bladder emergency @Suffolk_lass.  I hope he is on the mend.  Hope you and @enthusiasticsaver both enjoy your holidays.

    As we approach the end of March, I am tagging the "can I join..." no shows. I have looked at all the profiles and while one or two have not posted since they asked to join (across the whole forum, I mean), others are looking regularly, but not posting on this thread, posting on other threads but not this one, and some have been nowhere near MSE since joining. Maybe you changed your mind, moved on, or forgot, or something else.

    Whichever group you are in, if you don't post or PM one of us to say please leave me in the challenge, the following 6 5 were removed next week:

    @try_harder #5
    @Frugalwannabe #7
    @rjrs0510 #17
    @Lomcevak #30
    @Moonlight1720 #40
    @angelicious #45

    I have removed five of the six above now as no word, no show, nada in response to being tagged. One response, so try_harder remains

    #50 t2rry reporting an additional £330 for April please.

    I have effectively stolen this from next month to drip feed more into investments whilst the market is down.  It means next month will be a lesser one so excuse me whilst I go and find things to sell to try to start making it back!

    #39 - linz - £500 for April

    Just the £500 for me this month. Remortgage is coming up so I need to keep some to one side for conveyancing as I'll be changing lenders.
