    Hi all,
    I'm baaaacccckkk! Finished my walking challenge on Saturday, then spent a lovely albeit emotional weekend with the family in Cornwall, followed by a 7+ hour drive home yesterday zzzzzzzzz
    I've updated my total so I now have £80 in my pot.
    Shame about the car repair bill @sams247 but what luck that you had some funds to hand to deal with it!
    Totals updated to here - please shout if anything looks amiss x

                    And another Friday rolls around so another fiver into my pot - now at £90. 

                    Well done to all those sticking with it. Doesn’t matter if you’re religiously saving £5 a week or putting something away as and when, it all counts. 

                    Have a good weekend all.
