I'm now on 32.6% - number 25.
It may have been more but I've spent a bit more than usual this month, new coat, new dressing gown, new headphones...
This Christmas we are doing secret santa amongst the adults, so that'll help reduce the spend this year.
I am REALLY wanting to go on holiday as mine have been cancelled this year, it's so tempting to just book a trip to the Canary Islands over the Christmas period - or you know next week lol (I'm working from home, so I could work from there right? lol). I always go on holiday in the winter and I'm hoping I still get to go on one.
I also have almost 2.5k in savings now!2 -
