Whoever said don't leave the big money columns until the end of the year gave brilliant advice. I'm always skint in January as well so I did the later big money weeks in April May June if that helps anyone otherwise with gas and electric hikes and fuel and tax on the way I would not have managed this much. I hope it runs next year.DF by 2023 No 17 £1,644 /£6000 Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 201814TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE now in control365 1p challenge No 491

I work backwards Blackberrycurved. I often get a little bit of money at Christmas - the odd £5 here and there - and use that to put to the bigger amounts first. Short term pain but very worth it.
I'm also dreading what will happen with the electric bills etc - many more frugal months ahead of us I think. Also hoping this thread will run next year to keep me on track.£2 coin savings club 2025 #1 £166 (2024 £692; 2023 £754; 2022 £472; 2021 £256; 2020 £358; 2019 £512; 2018 £404; 2017 640)Saving for Xmas 202 £1 a day #4 £365 / £365 3-6 month emergency fund challenge #48 £10,030 Save a penny a day 2024 #32 £ . / £667.95 £1000 emergency fund challenge #232 £1,007/ £1,000 (achieved Nov 2020)0 -

So happy I have been nibbling away at December & November as I have gone along.
Totally up to date to the end of October, and just need £50 to complete November and December so with a following wind I should be able to whack that in at the end of this month and have the whole shebang completed in time for starting my Chrimble shopping for the the start of December.
Wil definitely do this challenge again next year!!!- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033
