Hello everyone,


I've had an enjoyable hour or so counting my £££'s and I'm quite happy with the £740 I've saved this year.


I've already bought the majority of my presents so most of this money will be tucked away and the remainder will help towards groceries etc. over the festive period.




I hope you have all enjoyed this challenge and have found that saving little and often has really helped towards the cost of Christmas.

I'm still waiting on my Bts points but I've run out of time in this challenge, never mind, hopefully I'll get them in time for Xmas.

Hi all
Emptied by money pot and paid the money into the bank today. Even though I didn't save the full amount £120 takes the pressure off. #11 £120/365
Definitely want to sign up for 2018. Thanks for the thread and Happy Christmas.
