    I'm going to make my first February OP today ..... I plan to OP £300, with every hope that I can do another £400 at the end of this month.

    But the best bit is that the £300 will put me below £9k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know that next month will be less good so I'm on to it while I can!

    PO xx

    Well done, what great progress :)

    Although actually a number starting with 8 is a fatter number than 9 so should be higher - or is that just me :o

    My updated balance now that the op has gone through is £8897.77 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Received a £10 token for M&S via my goldfish card yesterday, so along with the ones which are due from the M&S card that's my food shop next week (not just any food shop........an M&S food shop!!) so the usual food money can go towards the next op too.
    Next step is sub £8k - maybe by the end of March?????

    Ignore them. That's what I do ;). 0's are good as they're empty :)
