    Hi all,

    I have been keeping my eye on this thread but sadly had an issue with my laptop and it had to go to the doctors.

    Popped in to see how everyone is doing, keep going all even with the absence of Ellie, lets see how high we can make a combined total.

    Please post on here what your total is currently if it is wrong on the front page and I will update them and try to keep on top of this thread too, as it seems like Ellie has been absent for a while.

    Please post below your total and I will update.

    Keep potting those pennies

    I took advantage of the 20% points offer at Boots today and this has bumped my total up to: #3:£620/600 Thanks Westie
    This year I’ve accumulated £65 in Boots points; with the 3for2 offer at Xmas this means I can have 6 free prezzies worth at least £16 each :j
