my final total for November is :
#2 £9,330 / £10,000
I dont think I will quite reach my target this year but have done better than last year and covered 'extra' bills along the way. I also have an emergency fund of £700 and have managed Christmas on cash.
This forum over the last 2 years has been such a help to me in so many ways and its been great to have all the members support and advice so thanks everyone :beer:0 -
One more day to go in Nove folks! Hope we're all having a good month. I'm not; right up to my overdraft limit on joint account and pretty hairy looking on my sole account. That's CHristmas for you.0

That must be nice to get past that stage. I'm only a couple of weeks ahead of you as I'm 28 weeks this weekend.
I'm not at all organised though, we've got nothing bar a few nappies :eek:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Thanks for the updates everyoneSo the PPI money has appeared in my bank account and I've thrown it straight at the c/card and rounded it up to £100.
Edit: Actually, I've just done some overdue maths. It needed doing a while ago but with everything going on here I haven't really been visiting this page as often as I did previously.
Jwil - Can you increase my goal to £4237, this accounts for some of the interest applied to the low interest c/card, as well as some money juggling I had to do to finance some work on our flat.
My new totals are:
103 - £2307/£4237
Hope that's ok? Thank you

I probably ought to - we're not buying a lot anyway, will get as we need it, but we do need to get the basics in in case bump arrives early!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

I'll probably have to do the final totalising for the month on Monday. Sorry for the delay peeps.
We've had quite a good month this month compared to the last couple, it doesn't look like we'll hit half a million this year though unless we have some huge payments during December. Would be nice to get to £400k though!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
