    Thanks again :)
  • Can I join please? 2015 was a really bad year starting on January 1st with the death of my Dad. After this DH and I adopted a bit of a "well we could be hit by a bus tomorrow" mentality with spending money. We're not in debt but definitely frittered away quite a lot.

    Later in the year I had 2 miscarriages (one just 3 weeks ago) and as a result we've gone a bit overboard buying presents for our 2 year old.

    Next year we want to get all our spending under a bit more control. I actually LIKE budgeting and have Jan budgets set including knowing how much I need to put away each month to cover yearly expenses.

    I would like to join the challenge in January please. We are planning an uber frugal month so the challenge fits in nicely with that.

    I did a couple of the early ones when NSK was still running them but we are intending to move house this year and need to save up the rest of our deposit and enough to cover stamp duty and fees.
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75

    Sorry to hear your sad news Helga. You are very welcome to come and join in. Really hope your 2 year old has a wonderful Christmas.
