#10 £580Just 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.Save 12k in 2022 #26

Is it too late to join? I don't need a lot as only buy presents for the 4 G/Ch & my Great niece and don't believe in spending a lot. Other than that we don't buy extra food other than something nice for dinner. Buy having to write it down on here, it will motivate me to get saving it a bit more. At the moment, I tend to put it in a saving pot and then take it out and transfer it to another more needy one. SO starting today, with £1Making the debt go down and savings go up
