Hello, I'm a little late but could I please join?
I was quite organised for Christmas this year. But I looked after everyone except myself.
So this year I will hope to have this little money jar to pay for getting my hair cut and highlighted, nails done and eyebrows tinted and a maybe something new to wear. I've missed a bit of the challenge but I will start today - 267 days until the end of the challenge, I will round up to a goal of €300 - and hopefully that will be enough for my purposes come December 1st :-)

I'm sure the host will provide you with a number at some point, not that it really matters - You could always just give yourself a nickname or just give an update on how your savings challenge is going

Welcome castlelough.
I'm not on my laptop to allocate a number or update totals for the others.
I haven't made any purchases yet, any one else made a start?

I bought a few wee bits from Tesco for stocking fillers but I just used my normal budget for that.
Think it cost about £6ish.
