Not bad at all
Smashed our target for the year, so extremely happy about that. DD is hopefully due to start University next autumn and I feel pretty well prepared for that financially now. That was the aim
Thanks for keeping us motivated and on track for the year julicorn - the year total to date for the MFW challenge is edging towards a cool million - I'm watching it edge closerElmoR xx2 -
jennystarpepper said:#16 Total for Nov. £440.94 please @julicorn, many thanks. Can I ask if you are going to do a MFW sheet for 2022, if yes can I keep my number please?
Am aiming to break 6k for the year, keep scraping up those pennies everyone.1 -
Finally caught up with the spreadsheet (apologies for being AWOL for a couple of weeks
), and we've just hit the £850k mark! Let's see how far we can take it before the end of the year
