CazzirLT plans for our pennies that’s a good idea. Mine is really simple each Christmas I spend about £450 that includes a big food shop that keeps me going for a while, a big tree, booze which I hardly buy any other time and presents. I always end up putting some of it, not all onto my card which is stupid when I’m trying to get my debt down. January is a tough month as I’m self employed, my car insurance is due I save £150 paying it annually and my tv license comes out. If I do this and add in a bit more at least I’ll start the year for once with a fighting chance. Sorry it’s not a more exotic plan.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 492

Check first post for numbers! All up to date
This year I'm using a Pot in my Monzo account for my Challenge. I don't have any specific goals for the money this year, just to get to the end of the year!
Last year I spent it in dribs and drabs through the year on things I wouldn't have been able to if I hadn't been putting it aside, so I got a new sofa, which I used £450 towards (sofa was £779 on special, usually £1300 and honestly it's the best money I think I've ever spent!), I also got the dining table and chairs I wanted using some of this towards it, and finally also the shoe unit I wanted. I now have every big thing I needed for the house and wouldn't have been able to do it without this challenge!
However I want that lump sum at the end this year. Mum did it last year and did it with change. Dad was shocked when he realised how much she had!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old Style, Crafting and Techie Stuff boards.If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.
