    Welcome @sonny55 - you are saver number 19. Never too late to start this mini-challenge and well done for already saving £15. If you save £5 a week you will have a tidy sum for your Christmas Eve week withdrawal :)

    I haven't really thought about what to do with this savings pot yet. Might treat myself to something in the new year, so am glad to just stash the cash away for now and I like seeing the little amounts building.

    Totals updated to here :)
