    Thanks @LittleMissDetermined. I find that completing lots of smaller challenges and then feeding them into this bigger one really helps me.

    Hi

    Could I join please?  I'm using Plum, which is basically doing my virtual SPC, 1p Challenge and now a 52-Week Challenge for me! :w:wink:
    You absolutely can 😊 I’ve added you to the challenge list and you’re No.21

    Turns out I did join!  I didn't bookmark it unlike the others, so it completely escaped my consciousness!!  Anyway, I'm up to £620 :smiley:
