Tizzi and Mrsmoneypenny. I'm also penny saving. I've written out all the amounts for the years and then at the end of the week I empty out my purse and work out the amount into individuals for 7 days, pot the money, and score the amounts off. That way I'm mixing it up all the way through the year and won't have any one month with a HUGE amount to go in and others not. I've done up until Monday just past so far and I need to do it for the rest of the week as I've Ben working in Friday's.
I only do 50p, £1 and £2 coins this way as the smaller coins all go into separate lots for paying into the mortgage at the moment. That's out joint one and this is a personal one for me.No longer ...tobe! Married 20/06/13MFW 2021 #117 £5415.40/£6000MFW 2022 #77 £3740/£3000MFW 2023 #82 £0/£30000 -
Well done to all who are doing the penny-saving challenge. It looks as if you've found some great ways of doing it:T
I had a table at a tabletop sale yesterday. It was only a village hall venue and I wasn't expecting to get rich;). Managed to make £39.20 profit but went mad and bought a cup of tea and 2 cheap paperbacks out of that.
Have kept the notes but there was a lot of small change. I've put a small amount in my Holding Pot as a float for the next one. I didn't have a small-cash float this time as I'd potted it all at the start of this challenge:rotfl: and it was darn inconvenient at the start of the sale when people were offering a fiver for a 40p paperback and expecting change:eek:
Have posted £4.72 into my SP though and am well pleased :j0 -

That's a good way of doing it, as sometimes I don't always have the change I think I might do a chart like that too
thanks for sharing the idea :rotfl:Sealed Pot challenge no: Target £1000 :rotfl:

Hi, I have potted 97p today - it's amazing how some weeks money just fritters away like this week and other weeks you hardly open your purse. Hoping to do better next week Debt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order )0

£1.41 chucked in after popping to Morrisons on Thursday and then £1.14 after cinema friday.
Keep up the good work everyone!
carbootcrazy I wish we had wee tabletop sales around here but sadly city-centre living means those aren't a thing and all we have are the very expensive car boot sales

£1 potted today as per No Spend on Toiletries challenge. Where has Jan gone. Am weirdly excited for this time next week when I empty my tube to bank the contents.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
