racer256

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to start this shiny new thread. Three months ago I split from a 5 1/2 year relationship my last thread was in the MoneySaving in Relationships Board you can check it out here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1346719&highlight=leaving+boyfriend&page=3

So far I am living in a rented room and have scrapped my car so I am taing is opportunity to save some cash to travel a bit and eventually save up for a deposit on a home.

This thread is to keep me in check as I can overspend especially on food, cosmetics, books and coffee shops. Thank you for reading.:money:

Day One- The first day has been a good one. I have worked out payday this week I wll be able to put £60 towards my trip. I have £20 already as its money I have been given today. So far a great start. In January I will be able to put more towards the fund as Xmas would have been and gone.

Hi Racer good luck on your savings quest. What exactly are you planning to do in Canada?

Hi Dinah, hoping to go to Montreal to watch the Grand Prix and try the Villeneuve mueseum, hoping to have a meal in his restaurant, visit his Dads grave and see a few art galleries and get a feel for the history of the place. I may visit my uncle in Vancouver who knows but just making enquiries at the moment. Hows the wedding plans getting on? I hear Congratulations is in order although we all knew it was coming lol!
