    Amazing totals for December and 2017 as a whole - thanks to Jet for being a fabulous December counter upper :D

    Off to update the first post now...

    But first, a quick mortgage OP of £50 to start the New Year off the way I mean to go on!
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    Welcome Crazybassetlady - you've come to the right place. Have a look at the "Make XX in January" topic as well, I find it goes hand in hand with this.
