    My Christmas savings go into a Nationwide Start-to-Save account. I've just been notified that I've won £100 in their quarterly draw, so #2 is now up to £650/£638, smashing my target for the year!

  • My total is creeping up so slowly I forget to post! Not sure I’ll make the target this year for the 1st time. I might do if I return to the shops without a mask; Ive stayed away from everywhere for 18 months now. Hopefully I can now spend some of what Ive saved, I’ve never felt so wealthy!
    #6 £210/£365
    Debt Free 🍾 since 6.8.13 £31,997

    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...
