Christmas Spending Planner

Every December there's a running total living in someone's head. What the presents are up to, what the food shop will be, whether the new decorations count, and how much is left before January starts sending the bills. It usually lives there right up until January does the maths for you.

The Christmas Spending Planner puts the whole of Christmas in the Spender Girlie app. Set your total budget, split it across each part of Christmas, and log what you spend as you go. Today shows where the money is going and how much is left, so you can see whether Christmas is on track or quietly getting away from you.

It includes the Christmas Gift List, so presents sit right alongside everything else, with everyone you're buying for and totals that update as you go.

Done the free Christmas Money Check? Your numbers come straight over, so there's nothing to type in twice.

It lives on your phone, so you can check it mid-shop, and it works on your laptop too.

• The Christmas Gift List, included
• Your Money Check numbers, brought straight over

Because "we'll just be careful this year" is what we said last year too.
