    Did 5k this year, which was well under my expected. I made some calculation errors though, and things just worked out more expensive. In 2014 I'm dreaming of 12k, going for 10k but more likely to get 8k, as I'm planning a bit of travelling throughout the year.

    So I'm in for 8k.

    Saving for Christmas 2022 #10
  • Right, new year resolution made today after fiddling with my spreadsheets (ooh matron), I am cutting down my smoking. I smoke roll-ups four times a day. I know I should just cut it out altogether but I will fail miserably if I do that, tried it several times and the most I lasted was 2 weeks.

    I haven't had one this morning, just a suck on my electronic cigarette, afternoon ciggy, then cut out the one after tea and then a final ciggy at night. This should drastically reduce my cigarette spends, down from £28 to £15 a month. Any savings I make will go in the Hamlet fund.

    Oh and one more resolution...anything I buy this year has to be discounted and/or give cashback :)
