    Hi All.
    I'm up to £145 as I started a week late. I add the required amount at the start of the month, as I wont remember to do it weekly.

    Hi all,

    Another Friday rolls around. Didn't get to post last Friday as too busy. My total now up to £160. Well done to all those staying the distance, it's not easy when there are so many other demands on our purses.

    Totally understand you stepping away for now @beanielou - hope you're okay xx
