    I've just had an interesting shop at Boots; ended up with mascara points, offer points, triple points and 500 more points! It was equivalent to a 25% discount but it will be worth even more at Xmas when I get 3 for 2 for free :T Anyway, added to other little bits I'm now up to:
    #3 £682/£732 :)
    Debt Free 🍾 since 6.8.13 £31,997
    Saving for🎄Xmas ☃️ 🎁 2024 £107/£365 29.3%
    6 mth 🆘 fund £6k
    Mortgage offset fund £6.9k/£62.3k
    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...

    £48 added so #69 is now at £737 so over our target :j with over a month to go. And it could be more than this as we both add the odd extra £1 in there without checking it off. :D

    TCB has just paid out, so I have added it to my signature, ready to post when 2017 thread starts...

    Thanks Ellie for all your support and work on running this thread, looking forward to starting again, another year without having to worry about where the funds are coming from to buy presents, and my pay packet this month and next will be mine, to do what I want with, without having to spend it on buying presents for others....

    I hope we get some new converted challengers for next year, I will try to spread the word of the ease of saving just £1 means you can have over £300 to spend of Christmas....

    Hi Ellie
    I've opened my pot today final amount was £181. Thankyou for running the challenge this yeR, it has definitely made a difference to my finances. I won't be going into the New Year with debt.

    I've sealed it back up ready for Christmas 2017 I'd like to put my name down. I'll start the saving on 1st December again
