    I’m going to crack open my piggy bank in the next few days to buy a present in the Black Friday deals. Managed to save #16 £135/£365 and although it’s not the full amount it will definitely help me out. I’ve been doing this a few years now and it’s brilliant not to have debts in January!
    Thanks for running the challenge Ellieseleven will definitely sign up for next year. LP x

  • M&S vouchers are here! I had to buy something for work and used TCB so my new total is a mega one:
    #3 £802/£600
    I don’t need anything like that amount, I expect I’ll be carrying forward a nice starter sum for next year.:T

    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...
  • So exited I transferred this months funds early!

    #11 Reporting November saving of £30 - target £365 achieved

    I'm off to write a Christmas gift list - now I know I've got the cash! I love that for the second year in a row, because of this challenge, I'm not looking at starting the new year with Christmas debt still on my credit card!

    Have a fab weekend
