    Yay, it's pay day again, so my balance goes up to £488.00. For the first time in my life I'm actually getting excited about going Christmas shopping, knowing I can actually afford to do so :D

    Transferred my £31 from July, plus the £10 from topcashback, and then my £24 top up because I can't bear not having round numbers and my total now sits at £400 I'VE DONE IT!!!!

    Thank you so much for this challenge, I have NEVER saved for Christmas before and this will make a huge difference to us. I am probably not going to keep doing the £1 a day into the account as I have debts to pay but I will continue to transfer in any extras from surveys and Topcashback and hope to hit £500 by December.

    Thank you again. I am grinning like a pillock at work!
