triple_choc_chip

Seems ages since I posted an update - 2 things from same company disappeared from my TCB pot just as I expected payout - must submit a query about them. Anyhow, some shopping was needed for work so new total is:
#3 £93/£366

Got to confess I have been struggling a tad, but up to date now. Signature updated and onwards we go

Hi Sam

Please don't struggle, the idea is to save what you can, so it's not such a strain at Christmas time, any amount saved between now and December is great, there's no pressure.

That's an impressive amount :T

I've got my Christmas saver and a car fund on the go, we got married last year so my car fund was used as my half of the wedding fund, I'm hoping to save enough to buy a new to me car in a year or so

OK a snazzy £1 in the pot today - up to £15. In my book this equates to the veg for Christmas dinner, plus the gravy.... maybe the yorkshires too

Hi folks. Would you mind if I joined the challenge please?

Towards the end of last year I stopped spending all my Barcs and Moggisons rewards, club card and nextar points and decided to save them for Christmas. I also had a £20 pay out from CheckoutSMart in December and with some eBay sales I had over a hundred pounds saved. It meant that I could splash out on some extras and not use the od - great feeling.

If I could have £366 by Xmas 2020 it would be fab (especially as the cat's insurance is also due in December). I won't be able to rely on my supermarket points this year as I'm shopping mainly at Aldi so will need to up the eBay sales.

I've already got £2.43 in Tesco points, £1.58 Morrisons, £4.92 in Nectar and £8.00 in Barcs so a total of £16.93 and I've just added 2.20 to the pot from my eBay sales so have £19.13p. total.

Hi there, could I join you please? I'll aim for the full £366.

I'm going to set up a Christmas Account with my local Credit Union to set aside money for Christmas this year so it's not there to dip into. I currently have a well-stocked gift cupboard that will be used for birthdays and some Christmas gifts this year. I haven't really through through what I am doing for everyone yet. I do have a load of Christmas cards hat i bought in the sales, which should do this year and next easily. I also have plenty of Christmas wrapping paper and gift bags/boxes.

I've just popped a £1 in the jar so am up to £20.27 today.

Have also just realised that I missed a whole month so I will need to make up £31 somewhere - I'm fleabay selling at the moment so will make sure I add some from my sales.

Really great challenge, thanks for hosting it. :beer:
