Saving for Xmas 2016! - A pound a day

Tradcob

Hi!


Tradcob here, number 39...


I've found some spare cash and am now up to £20! :-D

I've done a transfer of £31 straight into my savings account to cover December. I will do this every monthly payday as I rarely carry cash so don't have coins that often.

Glad to be doing the challenge again as it really does help

I think this is a great idea, but maybe to stay inline with MSE we should use an old jam jar or paper mache money jar :money:

Well, swimming costumes have come (I ordered two) couldn't believe that they came so quickly, anyway both fit lovely so keeping them. They said they would arrive by 24December, so well chuffed.

Afternoon everyone,

Glad your swimming cosi's fit Nannygladys;)

Very MSE Lilly81 and I know a few people who have done just that in the past:cool:

£4 to add, taking my total to:
#3 £26/730

This is so weird though in a good way! I can't believe I'm already saving for next year when I don't usually have anything at all.
I have now bought all prezzies and still have over £300 left of this year's Xmas savings. The food / alcohol should be no more than half of that. i've been looking for something to do Boxing day or day after but found nothing local. So in the new year I may bump up the holiday a/c with the balance. Happy days

I'm sitting this month out but will make the money up in one of the no council tax months

After my partner paid for a cheeky takeaway- I've decided to put £20 in the tin- so that brings me up to £40/ £366 :-D
