    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 :-) 
    Debts: Credit Card: €6000 ---> €5050 Feb 25 \ Overdraft: Step 3/100
    Savings: FF Fund: Step 23/100 \ CU: 3755/4000

    @ castlelough - A very warm welcome to you and enjoy the savings challenge <3
    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 :)

    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.
