Progress not Perfection

It’s much colder here than yesterday but beautifully sunny. 

I save my Morrisons voucher until Christmas….i don’t shop in there nearly as often as I did but still clocked up £40. And virtually £40 as Asda. It was quite nice doing free shops of treats before Christmas.

Hi all, long time lurker here but have never commented. Sorry for jumping on this thread but just wanted to say I have followed all the Members on here for a long time and have gained a massive amount of inspiration from you all for my own debt busting journey. I have picked up on money saving tips and crazily in a way feel like I know you all. I have now plucked up the courage to start my own thread but just wanted to say thank you for the updates and insights which have helped my own journey so far. Keep up the good work.

Hello and welcome 😊 What a lovely thing to say, I'm so pleased we've inspired you. I'll look out for your diary. I was a long time lurker many years ago and like you I was inspired by others enormously. Although I no longer have debt I stay on here to keep myself accountable.

I've done a couple of MSE type things this lunchtime:

• Upped the mortgage overpayment by £50 to ensure it's paid off by the end of the year. I managed to do this via the banking app so saved me phoning them. 
• Opened a new YBS Christmas Saver, been waiting for this one to come back out. £150 maximum duly sent over.

Editing to add something I forgot - I received a £25 gift voucher from someone at work as a thank you. It's a scheme we have at work if you want to thank someone for going over and above.

That's lovely to be acknowledged again x

Well done on your reward, how nice that people get to recognise the extra work that you do.
And thanks for the heads up on the YBS Christmas saver - have just set mine up thanks to you

What a nice thing to receive. Any plans for how you'll spend it yet?!

You have to exchange them online for a retailer online gift card so I might go for B00ts. I’ve not been in shopping mode for ages so will wait until I need something. I’ve still got almost £50 in advantage points to use.
