Ha Ha! I have ordered mine:o I've been saving up at the butchers all year too, it means I can stock up on meat which will see us through January

We dine with relatives on Christmas Day - so I go food shopping on Boxing Day and get all the meat massively reduced. I fill the freezer and we don't usually have to buy meat again until March :j

Thank you so much everybody for keeping me motivated. I have never saved before for Christmas and it feels amazing :beer:

Will do mine at the end of the month, although because it goes into a bank account it'll just keep mounting up but I'll do a 'total' at the end of November and then probably just carry on. It'll certainly be more than I need for Xmas anyway.

I'm now up to:
#3 £650/£732
Which is all I need as that's what I've spent the previous two years. I'm so close to 90% though, I would like to achieve that by the end of the month, so not declaring yet!
Happy 'Guy Fawkes' everyone

Hi,

Hi everyone

Just put in the rest of November's money so declaring

£366/366

Really chuffed but as most of Xmas shopping is done now and food is being paid for by Tesc@ vouchers that I have saved up during the year I think I'm putting it towards a few outings that I want to do next year. I have got over the fact it's taken hard discipline from me to achieve this money and I'm going to spend it on me!!!!! So my Xmas present to myself!!!! Hope that's alright.

Apologies for the delay in posting but............ I've done it! £366/£366! Already being spent on presents for DH and my parents.

Looking forward to doing the same again next year/starting in December but I'm going to try to double the savings this time...
