    #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.

    #3 back down to £64  as I used some to buy a present. But that's what its there for, so at least I didn't have to use my grocery budget or something silly

    #3 checking in. Had to use some for a present at the weekend, and then put some back in today, but back to £60 now. It'll go back up again though. At least its there when I do need to buy birthday presents.
