Hi
Sloping in with £550 for January please. I am number 23 now I think.
I am off to a slow start but being conservative until our daughter is settled into her new adventure.
Thank you,

You did @Malchester, and I replied privately to you, within an hour of your DM. I did set out how I would proceed unless I heard from you. That was on 3rd February. I was going to leave it until March had started, to see if you had reconsidered, but I will remove you now, since clearly, we don't meet your expectations

Thank you @Van_Girl and that is much appreciated. A gentle reminder to all to be kind please and patient if we do not get around to updating as quickly as savers would like or miss the odd update. We are both volunteers and have other commitments. Rudeness will not be tolerated.
