Happy New Year everyone.
So this is my first update and here goes:
I will be combining my virtual pot, £2, 50p, 20p & sealed pot challenge.
#12 potted £43.80
I thought I was doing £2 per day making me under target of £26.20 but just realised that I said £1.50 so under target by £8.70. Not bad for hubby being out of work during winter.:)Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%

This morning I have paid over all the money needed to settle what was spent on the card last month. I'm really pleased that the monies saved last year was more than enough to cover Xmas, New Year and two further treats for me and I still have £21 to carry over to this year's challenge.
I'm now bumped up to:
#3 £60/£732
Thanks Ellie0 -
