  • Hey everyone
    Hope you are keeping well, get well soon if you're not feeling great x
    Things were pretty hectic for me in August, everything has calmed down now that the hen do and wedding have happened 😊
    I've had to dip into my Christmas savings as I overspent 😐 but I'm on target to get the money back for when I plan to start shopping.
    I've got a plan in mind for the adults I need to buy for not a clue for the little ones yet!
    I've updated all the totals, but if I've missed you please let me know.
    Catch you soon x

    Just checking in with another £2.50 on the nectar points.  I'm still amazed how all my points and rewards have added up to almost £300 already.  Last year I changed paying council tax to 12 monthly and put the monthly difference in as well, but haven't needed to this year as still on target.
