  • #30 here.  I made my final payment and am at £730 - target met!  :) 
    Thanks @kda@kdalwayskint.  I have now enough in the pots to reach my target - woohoo. So #5 at £365.

    So I am going to start my spending.  Lovely to be in this fab position with a few hundred quid to spend :smile:

    Good luck everyone.

    Yes - thank you, @kdalwayskint B) and everyone here.  This thread has really motivated me to be organised about our Christmas budgeting.  I'm about to start spending now!

  • I managed my £365 🎉 
    however, for me I really missed the money month by month and struggled in other areas. £1 a day isn’t much at all I’m just on a low income. Hopefully I will see you all in the 2022 challenge. Happy Christmas and huge congratulations to you all, especially those who saved large amounts as I take my hat off to you.

    Hello and Happy New Year! I also managed to get to £365 thanks to this great group and it helped a lot with Christmas gifts. I actually was buying from October and already started saving for Christmas 2022. Thank you :)
