    Hi and welcome to @lastbigspender and welcome back @Suffolksue - you are numbers 6 and 7. 

    Great to get started already @Dizzycap x

    I lost yesterday in bed to a migraine - at least I didn’t spend any money 😂

            Welcome back @sams247 👋

            Well done for getting started @lastbigspender. All totals are update on page one each week. 

            Unfortunately I don’t feel any better - think it might be Covid - we are meant to be going out to the pub later with friends so I’ll get a test ☹️ 

            Happy New Year to you all

            Happy New Year everyone.

            Really looking forward to this challenge - at the end of the day a fiver is 1 less coffee a week mad the cost of things now.

            @Coxy11 I have had that bug over Christmas so may not be Covid lot of stuff going about

            Can I join please too? I dithered about doing this at the beginning of last year, thought it doesn't matter, I'll just catch up then lost my job in March and it took me till late August to find another, so never started.

            This time I'm prepared to not let 'life' get in the way. I have already moved £5 across into a savings account today.

            I brought forward a balance of £5.57 left in the account from last year and have now transferred £25 for Jan, so #3 now has a balance of £30.57.
