    Oops I moved money over and forgot to post. In my defence we arrived back from the US Sun evening have had DD back since Mon, worked every day except one (which was spent having time with DD), there has been a heap of work stuff no one has managed to get thru all in the hottest week of the year. Not surprised by the mind slip!

    Anyway #9 now at £110.17.

    Good morning all,

    Hope you've all had a good week?

    Another fiver into my pot today and had a sprinkle of interest too. My total now at £115.61.

    I'll be abroad next Friday so may not be able to get online. Please keep adding your updates and I'll do a catch up when I can. We are almost halfway through this challenge now, so well done to everyone sticking with it!!
