#3 checking in. Now at the magic number of £70. As I've previously mentioned, this will fluctuate as I am saving for birthdays and Christmas, but we don't spend much on either, so should be fine. All I've spent so far is some money on cards for the year, but I haven't added to the pot on a daily basis as I should. I think I'll do ok though and we'll get there.
Well done to everybody else, you are all doing so well.Making the debt go down and savings go up
