    :hello: to newbies!

    Posting my final 2019 results here as the previous thread is dead now:
    Total saved: £688, total spent: £604 on presents/food to the value of £857.
    And a good time was had by all :rudolf: (and I’m still eating desserts, having bought far too many)
    Purchases also earned £25 cashback which is now part of this year total:
    #3 £63/£366
    Debt Free 🍾 since 6.8.13 £32k
    Saving for 🎄 🎁 2026 £367/£730 50%
    6 mth 🆘 fund £10k
    Mortgage offset fund £23.2k/£29k 80%
    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...
