            Please can you update my target @kdalwayskint I had originally wanted to save £480, but I have upped it to £900 after the experience of December 2022 - I realised that it was not realistic. 

            Great to see so many people join the challenge, Christmas is a time of year that can be so expensive and leads to a risk of overspending and getting into debt. That has certainly been my experience - so trying to be realistic and ensure that I have enough in the Christmas sinking fund for Christmas 2023 so that I am not robbing Peter to pay Paul all over the place!

            3-month emergency fund (Cash ISA & PBs): £4744/ £6,000
            Stocks and shares ISA: £1497
            Additional pension contributions £0
            Overpayment on mortgage: £0
            Big Renno..£0
