    How's everyone going?

    I've stopped putting cash in my tin now - Currently have £250 in cash there, but instead have now set up a DD for £10 a week to go onto an Amazon account balance. As I'll be buying a lot from Amazon for Christmas thought this was the best option to go with, it also means I don't have to dip into my credit or debit card for gifts.

    I've already bought quite a few gifts so am ahead of the game.

  • Long time no post - I’m trying to save as much as possible at the moment so not shopping or allowing myself to be tempted. I’m so close to the next threshold too but thought I’d update anyway as it may be sometime before I have anything more.

  • Hey guys

    A flying visit as it's bed time for me. I'll pop back and update totals and issue numbers tomorrow.

    I missed it but our little thread was in one of the emails (I'll see if I can find it tomorrow), so I've got a new badge for that as well as the Christmas badge some of us have been given.

    I haven't bought any presents yet but I have bought sweets and biscuits and hidden them!

    Catch you tomorrow x

    Hello. Please may I join the group?
    I'm saving £60 a month so I've already got £480 in the pot and I have £250 worth of High Street vouchers coming in November which I pay £20 a month towards. So I'm well on track. I've already bought a few presents and I keep a look out for stocking fillers when I'm out and about.
    PS. Please can I have number 24 if it's still available?

    Hi
    Welcome
    I've given you number 24 :)
