Saving for Christmas 2020 - £1 a day challenge

LoveMyLife

#50 update.
Got to £286/£366 yesterday.
As I was also on the "Make £2020 in 2020 challenge" and achieved that goal sooner than expected , I've put the excess amount of £80 from that onto this challenge.
Cheating a bit, I know, but we're in unusual times and don't know what's ahead, so I just want to be as prepared as I can with a little put by as quickly as I am able.
So I've now reached my goal of £366/£366, and have a nice xmas pot to cover some little treats to look forward to. 
Wishing everyone well in this challenge, and thanks for all the encouraging posts.

#36 is now up to £503/£366, helped along by a nice £40 bonus on a Prolific survey.  Onwards and ever upwards.....

I have £563 saved now. Coming on nicely. 😁 Just need to decide what to get for who.....( or is it whom?)

Hey everyone,  hope you're all well. 
Just a really quick pop in to say hello,  I'll try and come back and update totals asap x

I haven't got a number as joined a bit late, but I have been following this through the year - its a great idea

I'm on target to reach my £365 by 1st December - just got to cash in some loyalty points (sainsbugs, morries etc.).  Slight hiccup is Zipzero who aren't paying out yet and I have about £55 there.  I'm still scanning in receipts in the hope that they find a backer to at least pay some of the money, but won't count on it.  So the next two months are going to be spent on earning that £55 as well.  I've got a few ebay sales to make so shouldn't be too much of a problem fingers crossed.  

This is such a brilliant idea as I used to rely on the 2 council tax free months to catch up after xmas, but this way there won't be any catching up needed.    Looking forward to joining the next one if that's okay.

Checking in but not much to report. A few more ££££’s in the right direction and there will be enough for Xmas because that will be v.quiet this year depending on who is locked down by then. 🤔
#3 £488/£366

#36 reporting in with £558/£366.  Spent some nectar points on Christmas presents in Argos, saving £25 cash in the process.  Prolific surveys have been.... well, prolific!

Only 9 days on and I can now report #36 with £590/£366.  More Nectar points 'spent' and a £5 bonus for using 'Shop and Scan'.  That will be a once only attempt - even in these Covid times I prefer to engage with other humans rather than an app....  Likewise the Lidl app, now deleted.

Hi 
I hope you are all well?
I've done the totals and given SandyShores a number 😊
Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet? I've made a  start on getting some nice food bits I've been adding the odd bit here and there to my food shopping.
I've only bought 1 gift so far, I think I am likely to do most of my shopping online, but with local people, I've joined a virtual Christmas market on fb for one of the nearby villages.
Catch you all soon x

Hi All,

Thank you KD its lovely to have a number.  

No Christmas shopping done here yet.  Normally I leave it to the last minute, so I'm looking forward to having actual cash to spend
