    Just checking-in again.  I got a bit off-track earlier in the year but I'm on target again now.  I didn't end up increasing my goal but will just try to spend a bit more carefully to cover Christmas with extra family etc.  I can't believe it's nearly time for the last payments but I think I should be able to make my goal. 

    Hope everyone is well and thanks, KD, for this challenge.

    #38 £365/£365

    I have called my £365 and have £8.41 started for 2023.

    I only use free money from surveys and receipt snapping so my Xmas funds is free :smiley:
    I think I may try and double it for 2023 as I only started at the end of January for 2022,  the way things are going up I could do with a bigger pot for Xmas treats.
