  • Hi there
    Coming out of hiding and hoping to start posting again. This challenge worked really well for me for the last couple of years and I'm happy to say that, even though I haven't been posting, I have still been stashing the money away. So my second update of the year is

    #15 £151 giving a total of £182 / 365

    Good news is that the number of gifts that I usually buy has definitely gone down, as the god children have flown far and wide. I'll miss the fun involved in spotting the perfect gift and sending best wishes via email and messager etc doesn't really have the same buzz.

    Still looking forward to seeing what Christmas brings this year

    Take care everyone
