I second what Mummytu said, it's never to late to join! To see your savings balance grow is very satisfying and gives a feeling of some control. So many (me) go in debt every year at Christmas. It's wonderful to think that won't (may not) happen this year. I have have never set a budget for how much I will spend.

It is a very satisfying feeling Mila and it makes Christmas spending on gifts and food so much more enjoyable;)

Wow, what a stressful month or so, first my nan went into hospital, then my mum whose my nans career so late at night we had to find a care home to have nan whilst my mum recovered. I'm not local to them so doing it 100 miles away is difficult to say the least! They're both fine now thank goodness. :j

Glad to hear they are both on the mend, it is a worry when you are far away. My parents are elderly and I used to work away a lot and it was a constant worry. I changed jobs so I could stay closer to home.

I've reached 50% :j and only 3 days behind the curve if I finish at the end of November again this year. I'm not too worried though, the last two years I have spent £650 and £625 so I only need to get to 90% to have it covered.

No progress since I last checked in but wanted to say hi and will try to boost my total so I have something to report soon.

Karenccs I know what this situation is like - I live about 150 miles from my elderly parents - my mum is in a nursing home now, my dad cared for her at home for a long time but now lives on his own and I go down as often as I can to help. xx
