Ploppy57: Looking on the bright side, that'll buy a tub of Celebrations/Q.Street and the next £5 could buy a bottle of wine - that's my prezzie sorted lol

Hello,


It's not a problem if you are not updating as much as you would like (I'm having similar difficulty myself). The main thing is you are still putting tose £££'s away:)

#84 checking in with £161 for now
I feel like I should use this money to put towards my debt. But then I think saving it and then not relying on credit cards, like I have been doing in the past for Christmas, would be much more beneficial for me in the long run, right?

If you're on 0% deals, I think putting those ££'s away towards Christmas, which in turn limits the amount you spend on your CC is the way to go...and you have a very healthy total so far:)

Well since joining this group I had a few problems that needed my money elsewhere, so I have been very slack in saving for Christmas so its almost like I am starting afresh:mad: as my total is only £3 and £2.05 in Co-op vouchers which I am saving till then. So onward and upward and hope to report more next week.:)

Life happens Ploppy and sometimes we don't have a choice:(


The good thing is, you are still determined and we still have a way to go before the end of the challenge. Keep trying and anything you save will be a bonus:)

£30 in for May, plus a few £2 coins that I always save if I get any.

Thanks as ever to Ellie for keeping me organised to do this!

Just £41 in my pot so far. I've been busy fishing out my old £1 coins for new. From here on in I'm just saving the new ones and £2 coins.

Hi there
Payday has finally arrived so I can confirm that I've held onto all of my £31 saved for May. Don't quote me on this but I think this means all the Godchildren's gifts (how did I end up with so many GCs?) are covered.

#40 new total £182 / £365

Take care everyone
