    Can I join in please. Really struggled this Christmas so want to get a start for next year. I'll just commit to a £1 a day but hoping I can add a little extra whenever I can. I was given a terramundi pot so plan on using that :)
  • Hi I'd like to join :) I'll go for £1 a day as our Christmas spending is pretty minimal, this year I have spent in the region of £250 but with lo growing up am sure this will only get more expensive!

    I can't afford to put £31 in this month so will put in £14 and will make it up through the year. will add another line to my ss to keep track :)

    Been hitting the sales again. Now have another 2 boxes of cards (£4.50 for the two from Clintons), 10 rolls of wrapping paper and 5 packs of tags. Don't think I'll be needing any more for a few years!

    I took some cash out to see me over Christmas, I came home today and had some left so have put £30.00 towards this, it means I will finish December only £1.00 short
