Saving for Christmas 2019 - £1 a day challenge

kdalwayskint

Hey! I've updated the last couple of totals

I've taken £350 out of my Christmas fund and now it's in my current account and have started spending also managed £100 TBC so have requested £50 MNS and £50 L2S vouchers :T

My standing order will continue as it has done for a number of years and so saving for Christmas 2020 is already under way!

Does anyone want to join me again?

Finally hit my target. So satisfying. It’s been a tough year money wise but I’ve kept going and reached the finishing line :T

I think next year is a leap year so would be £366 in 2020

Well done guys! Here's to spending our Christmas money and no worrying where the cash will come from

I’ve signed up for next year but still have a week to go on this one so adding a new total:

#6 £668/£730

I’ve some shopping to do over the weekend I so may be back with a little more to add

Sure enough, my little spree which involved using extra points vouchers has raised my total to:
#6 £686/£730 :j
I started Xmas shopping today with - Parma Violet Gin - not a present though, it’s for me; my favourite liqueur is Parfait Amour so I’m hoping that this is just as nice but not so nice it’s all gone by Xmas!

It’s payday and I’ve made my last payment to my savings. I’ve hit my £600 target!

I do not plan to spend the whole amount but it’s great knowing it’s there. What I don’t spend will roll on to 2020 savings.

Well done everyone!

Bumping new thread details for 2020.

So I’m ending this challenge with £688 which is 94% of target and hopefully far more than I need. Remaining balance will added to next year’s challenge to give me a head start.

Merry Xmas everyone! :xmassign::xmastree:
