    Total is now £304/£732 :j

    I am so loving this challenge. I am going to love guilt free Christmas shopping even more ;)

    Hi all - haven't posted in a while so wanted to check in :)

    My Chrstmas pot is up to date - well, a little ahead as up to 13/4. Which means I have £135 saved already - blooming amazing!

    I run another pot alongside it for my munchkins birthdays this summer - it feels brilliant knowing the funds are there already without barely noticing it! :j

    Ellie, is it ok to change my target & total? I've thought about how much I want for Xmas and need more than £366.
