Really hope I manage to complete this. Have all of you had much luck in previous years? I had nothing saved for this year, it’s a disaster.

May I join? I have deposited £1 today My aim is £365.00. Won't be putting in a lot at the start of the year as finishing saving for a new house but will aim for it more after.

Just a quick update for me #16 £59.71/£365 for me now. I've caught the saving bug and trying to boost my Christmas savings for next year whilst I can't go out!

Another £2 put into my tin, slow and steady, but I will get there. Off to update signature.

Can I join again this year please I was number 25 last year but don’t mind if it changes. Helps to put that little bit away. Thanks

Hello, would like to join. Obvs am 27 days late or £27 down, but will make that up. Will keep money as cash in a glass jar as motivation - putting £7 in weekly. Think £1 a day sounds achievable and will go towards Xmas 2021. 
Can I have either number 22?

#13 up to 69 pounds. Determined to save this and keep it saved this year. Had to dip into various funds last year and it definitely was not as relaxing shopping when the planned money had already been spent elsewhere. Slow and steady wins the race eh.

I’ve tipped everything unspent of 2020 Xmas savings into this year's pot’. Total boosted to: #6 £59/£365

Have put my December £31 into my jar. Am hoping my fella doesn’t treat himself to a takeaway with it!

Hi scrimpandsave
I've been doing this for years, when someone else used to run the thread. It's certainly helped me out. I've had to 'borrow' from my Christmas fund through the year before but always make sure I put it back as I know how beneficial it is to have the funds set by for Christmas.
I just need to be more organised next year, felt so rushed into Christmas this year and not properly into it, but that could be down to the weird year it has been for all of us 😐
Numbers and totals so far done.
Much love to all 🙂
