    Hi

    #83 £244

    I don't pop in very often but I'm still saving my pound a day, and transfer my £7 on a Monday.

    I use tcb so anything from there I will be saving up to October/November and then will get a gift card, last year I only had about £15 to claim as I started using it later in the year, so far I'm up to £38, I just have to remember to go on tcb when I buy stuff :rotfl:

    I haven't started buying presents yet, well done anyone that's started already, super organised :)
    new challenge?

  • Hi all,

    I'm now on:
    £573/£732

    I've bought my 1st Xmas prezzie too, I think it's the first time ever that I've bought anything before December, so lovely to have the money put aside so that I can grab a bargain when I see one. :j

    Another Christmas present bought, not from my pot as I used my CC but that's okay.

    Found it at a service station and had to get it as it was one of those random kinda presents that you probably wouldn't see again,

    Onwards and upwards to find the next one....

    Hi all! I missed the month of July completely....think Wimbledon distracted me lol..... sorry for all the usual excuses, time to roll up sleeves for August. I have received my first Christmas Catalogue through the post which was for Dog's Trust.......... made me realise I need to concentrate. Next task will be to not to get too caught up in the Olympics to forget about saving.

    Hello everyone I am glad to report that my new total is £379.00/£350, #98
    I have reached my goal :j

    I saved £20.00 on my new coat so that went into the kitty. also cashed in all my survey money. I will still be putting in £5.00 a week into my cash ISA for a rainy day/ birthday gifts for next year. Good luck to everyone else, I hope you reach your targets.

    £30 added to the pot, from Top Cashback, finally a pending transaction reverted to payable...

    Feels like I have waited a eternity for it, but its potted now, paid out as an Amazon voucher as I have done all of my TCB payouts that are eligible...

    :-)
