    Would mean budgeting in a new job but after a year of MSE I am getting good at that .. :D


    Its really hard with the savings not to go on a sales shopping "bender" lol


    Am being very good at the moment and flebaying (even though I REALLY hate it ) :rotfl:

    Happy New Year!
    That's an amazing amount to have saved - well done! I hope your 2017 is as good if not better.

    Love the idea of a capsule wardrobe (and now have coat envy - I've had my eye on a Jaeger one for nearly 3 years!).

    I hope your family who asked you not to fleabay the gifts got you thoughtful ones. My OH's family got us mostly vouchers for things for our flat.



    It does make life easier with only 33 things in the wardrobe :D


    I love re-shuffling it when I get bored of what I have.


    Trouble is now I have the coat and thinking should have new scarf and gloves ...:(:rotfl:


    As for gifts I won't need to by any bath and body products for a year! I actually got really usual type things ..Make up, jumpers, Bath and body products, choc's , socks, a mug, a knitted wheat bag warmer thing. Oh I did get a designer purse as well.


    Plus one spent way more on me :o but that's his job isn't it ;)


    Really got to hang on to those savings this month 23 days until pay day!!!

    Time for some new year visioning Sam :) if we can do DF surely we can do new jobs and anything else we turn our hands to!

    (Still think 33 item wardrobe a bit beyond me at present though)

    Happy new year Sam.
    You've done incredibly well to go from debt to savings in a short space of time. Inspiring stuff.
    I hadn't realised you worked so many hours! And I am tired with 40 hours!
    Take care
