    Also looking for thread for 2024. I started this year but didn't get very far, so hoping to start again for next year with more luck & better budgeting. Already started a saving pot, so if I have to account for it, it will help me stay on track

  • Hello.

    Sorry for being absent so much this year. 

    I have set up a new thread, which hopefully you can find here Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day — MoneySavingExpert Forum

    Let me know if you have managed to complete your saving and I will just bold your amount on the first page.

    Happy Christmas.

    @kdalwayskint

    I exceeded mine!  And fyi - there's an update that I started in Sept on page 29 - might help with yours on page 1.

    And - might just be me and I know that it may be difficult to handle but wouldn't it be easier to have the list in alphabetical order?  That way people wouldn't need to remember what number they were and you could find them easily too.  Ignore me if that doesn't work for you!!!

  • Hi @Brie

    Thank you for your list in September, I had popped in after that.

    I quite often use a tablet and it can be a bit testy, so the number system works for me, when people use their numbers in their posts anyway!

    How are your Christmas preparations going?

    We all have our methods!!  And it's your post so whatever works best for you!!!

    As for Christmas - well I'm hoping to have the cards in the post by next week.  And wondering whether I can be asked to do a turkey on the bbq given that our oven has died.  I do want to go up in the loft and get out a decoration or 3 and maybe the seasonal china.  Otherwise the house looks little different than any other month!!!  (aka we're lazy)

    And yours!!?!?
