I've just picked my tin up. And it's fairly heavy I'm pleased because ds has an expensive present in mind for Christmas this year. He wants an X-box. Hope he knows it'll be a second hand one.

My £31 in for May

Vouchers have arrived- £4. it's good to get them but also disappointing since they reduced the reward for using their mastercard - may look for a better option. I spend over £1000 a month on that card, I think I can do better with a cashback version.

#3 £318/£732

Just checking in - £175 in my Christmas pot :j

I started another pot at the same time for my children's birthdays - this will be cracked open at the end of the month. I am so pleased with this as it's taken a massive pressure off.

Thank you so much for this challenge, it's been a life saver :j:j

£22 added to the pot since I last updated here. Have fallen a little bit behind but I know there has been the odd pound or two added by other members of the family from time to time so I am sure by the end of the year we will actually be over the target when it comes to counting. #69

It's great isn't it Crazy_cat_lady, the heavier it gets the more it spurs me on;)

It's a great way to save and as you say takes the pressure off. I look forward to Christmas and opening my tin(s) and don't feel at all stressed about how I'm going to pay for everything;)

I've completed my goal and stand at $3002/$3000

I've decided to up my goal to also include saving for birthdays etc now. So my new goal will be $6500.

That means I'm at $3002/$6500. I just adore this challenge!!
