Hi
I've popped some numbers up this evening.
Hope everyone is keeping well?
It was our school Christmas dinner today, I've been stuffed all day and didn't need any tea!
Christmas is not quite here yet, but that will be taken care of this weekend with the help of DSDs

Hi everyone, well found an old cash time and have £8 in so far, I would to save £360 as that would pay for presents for the dgc and food if I look out for bits and pieces throughout the year, the dgc are mostly quite young still but two of them are teenagers and would probably prefer the money - so Ive made a start at least. I will amend my signature as I go along as it makes me more accountable to myself.

I’ll have a big leap in January when I calculate ‘pending’ tcb’s, I don’t think there’ll be any cash carried forward though, I’ve either spent or accounted for it all now 🎁🥂🥳

Thanks KD. Can't believe I have started saving for xmas 2021 already. I've spent almost all of 2020's fund which has been fun. Cards for 2020 all sent now (its about £4.50 for six first class stamps!) and we've only just got the wreath out - really suits the new front door. Not sure about indoor decorations this year as we are struggling for places to put them (very minimalist in this new house), but we're starting to feel festive - christmas tunes on the radio tonight and parties happening 🎄☃️🎁"Think of many things, do one"
