    Good Morning,

    I spent money on Christmas presents yesterday but only because I knew I had already reached my target so it was safe - lol.

    So I ended the month on 21 out of 20 . Did well as it was my first month. December will be a struggle though :( Already I can see spending for the first three days on the horizon :(

    Have a great December x

    Good morning everyone:hello:
    I ended November on 16NSDs 2 higher than my aim of 14 so I am quite proud of that. December probably won't be as good because I have quite a bit of Xmas to buy yet.
    I hope everyone is keeping warm and are trying not to worry too much over what is happening at the moment ( I found out long ago that worrying doesn't improve things so try not to)
    I hope everyone has a happy and frugal December
    Better get on with my day
