    Tip for anyone buying next year's Christmas cards in the sale this year: Don't buy from Tesco. They have a paragraph on the back about how much has been donated to charity from the sale of these cards for Christmas (insert year.) Fine if you don't mind people knowing/send to others who do the same, but other than that best avoided.

    Hi Ellie, can I join the challenge this year? Did it many moons ago and it really helped out. Going to try and find a spare savings account online and use that to set myself up - will probably transfer over December's when I get paid on Monday.
