    I'm going to join, if I may!

    My plan is to get £350 in time to go Christmas shopping - I've already got £30 put aside so I'll aim for £20 a week which allows me to be a bit short on the odd week :)

    Hi Lisa Pea - sorry I hadn't replied to you! :wave: I haven't looked at the thread for a while.

    Does anyone know how to move this thread to the section on Christmas and special occasions? I think it's probably in the wrong place on DFW:cool: !!

    Thanks if anyone can do this I'm very grateful xx

    I am going to try £2 a day/£14 a week! Usually try and keep Christmas spends under £200 so should have a little bit for me!

    However I usually start buying in Sept, so may need to delay until Oct and I have a few savings! Or may do half for me and half for gifts?
