  • So in order to be more organised, today whilst I was in Asda I picked up a Christmas savings card. My aim is to put £10 on each month with the aim of getting £100 towards Christmas. I already do the Tesco Christmas club although I've never topped that one up so my aim on that is to also get £100 on it.

    So that will be £200 for food sorted.
    Seems like a really good idea to be able to get ahead for Christmas this year. Hopefully you won't miss £10 each month but by December it'll be loads :)

    Thanks, I don't think we will miss it, if we get tight I'll adjust the budget to suit.

  • Something else sorted that has been bugging me....I've paid the odd £40 off the BC so that is a nice new round figure. That'll change when I do the money transfer for the OD....if I can get DH to agree that is.

    Good job getting started for Xmas 2020, I have started putting a few odd £1 coins in my jar but should do something better really.

    Nice payment off the credit card, I hope dh can agree to the transfer it makes sense to move it over.

    Sending lots of best wishes, fingers crossed, lucky vibes for you to get a new job soon and good luck to dh in his interview.
