Saving for Christmas 2020 - £1 a day challenge

kdalwayskint

Hi guys

I've added totals and allocated a couple of numbers for new members, welcome :hello:

allie23 has got me thinking, has anyone else got a gift cupboard/space on the go? It was something I had a few years ago but I haven't had one for ages, I think I may start one again

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:

Catch up if you want to, but don't struggle, a bit here and there will soon add up

Thanks KD I will catch up if I can, but would be over the moon with £300 by 1st December for my Xmas top up.

Funny you mention about a gift space - when DD was little I kept a drawer of gifts/cards/party bags from sales and it saved me a lot of time and money. I stopped that when DD started buying her own gifts for friends and there were no party bags :rotfl:. But I know someone who is a great CS hunter and she picks up gifts for a fraction of the price. I was just yesterday thinking about trying to do the same as I usually end up buying flowers, chocolates, wine at the last minute when a few pounds at the CS would buy something a bit more thoughtful (and money saving ).

#3 £103/£366

Have a great weekend everyone!
