April Penny Pincher Challenge

Hello everyone I'm so sorry I've not been around or in touch, work has been a bit more emotionally tiring and also been trying to get things in place for the move.

I think the no spend goal is out of the window - I'm always finding things I need and just trying to enjoy my time that's left with my family before I move, so I have been spending. Also this weekend I'm at my boyfriends parents in Oxford and they want to take me to the center which I've never been to and also there's little bits of house stuff now so I won't get that goal.

But I have been buying in bulk so instead of £3 Tesco meals, I brought multi bags of things,using club cards a lot (not all the time because sometimes I forget but will be saving recipes for the times I don't so I can get them added) , trying to use my own bags when I have them and if I have space.

I have some goals for may set already.

Im really so sorry for being away I may be on and off, WE MOVE OUR STUFF IN NEXT SATURDAY! *eek*, I officially move in on 29th and Adam moves in on 22nd.

Welcome to all new members, I'm so happy and really appreciative that you like and are enjoying this challenge (I hope), you don't have to ask to join but it's always nice to see each others goals to see who's working on what. It doesn't matter if you don't meet all of them or things change and it sure isn't a race on who gets the most points.

I love the idea of having a self care goal,
Maybe we can add it as part of the challenge?

Are there anything else you would like to see or do within this challenge?

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend,got any plans?

Forgot to mention I made £50.
My mum owed me £10 for exchanging a gift card and made £40 from giving Adams brother some funko pop figures and a marvel select figure (weren't mine, they were an exs who gave them back to me so I may as well use it for my own gain. As bad as that sounds I just want a fresh new start with Adam)

Aw thank you, Jo!
The contract is all signed now so all we have to do is do final checks and get keys on Saturday, Adam pays the deposit and first month rent on Friday but we've decided to split that as it would leave him with no money to use for the house and plus I felt mean about him paying for the rent anyway... If I earned enough I would halve it with him.
So I'll say good bye to like £700 but worth it.

Yeah we've got a lot of things now it's just furniture like a sofa really.

I hope you have a fantastic day!! X

Even though I've been away I have been doing some tasks, I will have to update with my points. I do have a lot of points.

We've looked for a sofa and although it was more expensive than what we were hoping, it is a three seater, good sized bed and we get a good discount from argos. We just got to look tomorrow and find a suitable time for it to be delivered.

I didn't spend anything today!!! ��
I also put £35 in emergency savings.

I've had such an amazing day we didn't do too much apart from sorting some things out for the house and I'm just hoping that I'd have enough to give Adam half of the rent. The way I've worked it out, the new bills (without rent as Adam is paying that) equal to £250 which is the rent I was paying my parents, which Is nice because I'm already used to saying goodbye to that money.

Well done Jo!
What did you do?
