    You were not just late, you were stupidly late :p

    Anyway you have no excuse it's been on my signature for ever and ever I'm surprised it took you this long ;)

    Yes \i'm gradually joining all the challenges you're on Westie LOL!
    I have assigned a different account for this challenge. £25 in there so that makes a start to catching up!! Am wondering whether to include some Amazon vouchers that I have .....going to leave that decision for the time being as I'm not sure whether I might need to use them before Christmas.:beer::money:

    Ah well thats how I save for this challenge, I put all my TCB and Quidco payments into amazon vouchers, (as I get the extra top up) then I declare the amount.

    This means as you know I buy most of my presents via Amazon so I will just use my gift cards as payment, Christmas is sorted :-)

    Do as I do and you will do fine young Jedi :-)

    Could I join please Ellie? I'm turning over a new leaf and becoming a saver!!!! I know I'm very late but still have plenty of months left to make a difference to next Christmas. I will just have to keep it separate from my Virtual Sealed Pot so that Westie doesn't get upset lol :-) (I was late joining that too)

    Not sure if I can manage the £365 but I wil lset it as a goal.


    You are very welcome to join us Hummingbird, there is still plenty of time to save a nice chunk towards those Christmas expenses;)


    Hummingbird, your number is 95


    Good Luck
