    #15 on £60 - decided to transfer £10 a week to new savings account 
  • Here we are, end of the month. January usually seems to drag on for such a long time, but it has flown for me this year!

    I have added all updates to the first page. Everyone is doing so well :)

    I had every intention of starting a bit of Christmas shopping in the January sales but have not! Did anyone manage to make a start at all? Even just stocking up on wrapping paper?

    Thanks @kdalwayskint - looking at the totals I think you have me down for £80 but I am only at £50. 

    #16 £50

    I bought some gift bags in the sale - thought about cards but then found the ones I got in the sale last year and then forgot about 🤣🤣

  • Sorry Keggie. A typo from me.  I'd like to say something about fat fingers, but they're the skinniest things on me 😆

    I'm on my phone,  I'll have a go at changing it. If I can't do it now, I'll do it later when I get the laptop back out 😊
