Can I join please. I didn't officially join in for 2021, but I've been doing this challenge behind the scenes for a few years now. I had 2 tins running this year and will be lodging the money from one into my bank account tomorrow ready to pay off the Christmas gift purchases on he CC.
the other tin I'll use the notes to pay for the remainder if my gifts and the cash I'll exchange in work for notes. We always need change (I work in a school) so it's handy.
I'll go for £730 again for 2022Pay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%1 -

🎅 I've allocated numbers 😊
🎄I put our tree up and a few decorations in the front room today, it felt a bit strange, this is the first year that there were no children in the house at all. I shall put some decorations in the kitchen tomorrow.
I need to make a start on wrapping, I'll need to buy some, I hadn't realised we'd almost run out last year and I didn't buy any in the January sales which is when I'd usually get it!
I'm meeting a couple of friends for lunch tomorrow which I'm looking forward to. I'll also be on the hunt for something for my mum and little nephew and I think I'll be done with present buying, hmmm, I should check my list to make sure.
Catch you soon 🎅new challenge?£1 a day for Christmas 2024 £367 / £366 ~Got married 24/05/19 ~ Credit CardDFW Nerd #1155 ~LBM 25/2/09 ~ Debt at highest £8,037.35 ~ £05 -
Thank you kdalwayskint.
good luck with the wrapping and shopping! I can wrap square or rectangle objects but that’s about as far as it goes Lol.
