    I’m very late rejoining - thought I’d done it but clearly only intended to. I like todo this in reverse order and aim to finish in November to have the money available in December. So far I’ve saved 104.5 and 95.85 but haven’t got a number to allocate this money too (safely tucked up in Christmas fund account though).

    Thank you for running this thread again e@enthusiasticsaver.
