    Save £10,000 Jan-May 2022 THEN RETIRE!!
    Final total for (half) year: -£4,000
  • DH informs me he officially added £22 last night so #69 is now at £127. Unofficially he has been adding the odd other pound here and there and not been counting so as well as having caught up on Decembers because we didn't start until January, we should have a nice extra surprise in there. :j:T:j

  • I am so poor but I am determined I will not be touching my Xmas pot!!

    Have been really back at checking in on here - sorry!

    Hope you are all doing well.

    Dxxx

    I know the feeling, especially at this time of year:(

    I don't get chance to come on the forums very often, but I just want to say I LOVE this challenge - I decided to start this in mid January last year and was soooo pleased to get to that magic £365 figure!

    Started again as soon as I finished that one, and am on £26 - I do mine online and transfer it into a separate account as I never have much loose change.

    Good luck to everyone saving for Christmas! :)

    Me too Rossy, once you get into the swing of putting those ££'s away it becomes second nature and it certainly helps towards the cost of Christmas.

  • Morning everyone,

    Busy few days for me, working and looking after my grandson but I've caught up now and everyone's totals have been updated where requested.

  • Morning everyone,


    Another £2 in my tin for today, it's starting to feel quite heavy now;)
