Hi

I hope everyone is keeping well.

I can't believe we have hit November already!

I have set up ready for next Christmas, please let me know if you want to join again.

Here is the link for the new thread Saving for Christmas 2023 - £1 a day — MoneySavingExpert Forum 

Have many of you made a start on Christmas shopping yet?

So far I have bought a tub of Q street chocolates.

I haven't quite managed to catch up, so I will need to be a bit careful this year.

I've updated totals where I can.

Catch you all again soon

I have been so rubbish at keeping this post updated but I still did my savings and got to my target. I have done 75% of my Christmas shopping and ordered the turkey so most of the money has been used

Hey Everyone

Hope you are all keeping well.

Please update as you declare your spends for Christmas 2022.

Here is the link for next year https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6400655/saving-for-christmas-2023-1-a-day/p1

I've made a little bit of a start on shopping, Grandchild 3 is all done she is easy as only 1 on 19th December. Grandchildren 1 & 2 are a little more difficult as 5 & 7 and change what they like weekly, at least that's how it feels 

I'll be popping back and forth from the new page to add new members there and update declarations here.

Final total for 2022 challenge is £441.74

I put the £30/£31 in at the start of every month and sometimes stuffed a bit extra into the box when I had some, and it really added up without me realising it.

Xmas is a quiet one this year, so I don't need much of this money for that, I've used some to start next year's challenge and donated/will donate some, and then will think about the rest.

Merry xmas everyone.
