    Hello everyone, 

    Just checking-in with my first update of 2022:

     #10  £91.25

    I think I need to change my target for this year, I seemed to run out of funds early on or maybe I need to be more organised! 

    Congratulations on the arrival of your new granddaughter, KD!  Re: your target, I've been thinking the same thing about mine.  Based on 2020, my Christmas savings should have more than covered my spending (including birthday gifts etc).  I know lots of things have increased price-wise so that might be part of the reason.  I don't believe I bought anything 'new' that wasn't in my 2020 budget but I will be re-checking and might adjust for 2022 as I'm sure prices will continue to increase  :#.  

    Thanks for running the thread again this year. 

    Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

    Hello :)

    Please can I join this year as well? It was great last year to have so much £sss to spend for Christmas and took the stress out of last minute saving. I already set aside £39.79 - mainly from my change round-ups. Thanks again.
