Hi all

Just a swift update to say current hols savings are £545.01 (not all in my account yet, but should be next week)

How's everyone else doing? It's kinda difficult to focus onthis challenge with xmas coming, thank god for work expenses being paid straight in or I'd be struggling I think. Will definitley be easier in the new year!

extra £30 this week total £180 now, hard to keep going with christmas round the corner though

yeeeeeay, my computer is fixed!!!!! the broken part has finally arrivved from holland (dont ask, cos i dont know...) 2 months after we originally ordered it. but hey, its still working now!!!

i have managed to completely pay off holiday #2 since i last updated, so the £400 cost for the house, plus the £150 spending money. ive also got a good old chunk towards number 1 which will be coming on 18th december, so im very pleased!
hol #2 we go in 4 weeks so glad its all sorted now. was proper hard graft though... canvassing for the local council for electoral services... knocking on ppls doors to get responses (£250 each for me and dh plus 75p per resonse) so getting £516 for that. (not sure if they tax the responses- so if not it might actually be £555). so as ive already saved £200 for hol #2, im using £350 of this money to cover the rest of that, then rest for hol #1 which is in May.
Plus, were getting an extra £320 18th dec also, so around £400-450 off hol #1 aswell. will update sig now!

xxx hows everyone else doing since ive been gone? xxx

I want to join if i may pap? Im going on holiday on april 6th for 2 weeks to see my mum and step dad in cyprus..although my mum has already paid for the flights we still need spending money for 2 adults and 2 children.
I would like about £400 for me and oh and £30 each for the kids (only 30 as my mum will buy them things). Im aiming at 20.90 a week as that is how much it would take to get £460 by 1st week in april. But i might not be able to save that much as i have my normal debts, plus i have just ordered 450pound worth of park highstreet vouchers for next year and thats 9.67 a week for 45weeks but hey next xmas will be paid!!
