Good morning
Some people keep a tally, others just wait for the surprise at the end, so it's entirely up to you hun

Thats great - it will be nice to have a surprise at the end (hopefully it will be a big one too)

Hi Sue and all,

Haven't been here lately, but the odd bits have still been going in the pot. I have no idea how much is in there, as have not been keeping account. Now that I'm paying for my husband's nursing home fees I'm having to be extra careful with my cash, and am working on the "drawing out cash and filling labelled envelopes" method - which, after allowing for bills, food, and all the other living expenses, gives me (I estimate) £7 a day. So I don't always have spare cash to jingle. Once I've done a few months and actually had the bills in and paid them, I may be able to let up and allow myself a bit bigger daily allowance.

Anyway, is it too early to do the big cashing up? I may be busy next week, so it would suit me to count up today. And in any case I bought 2 pairs of (very necessary) bargain shoes yesterday, so have no cash left (NSDs until Wed) so no more for the pot, barring any road change.

Morning Winchelsea
Sorry to hear about your DH, good luck with the budgeting hun (HUGS). You go ahead and cash up today, also can you pop your total into your siganture for me, as I'm in charge of the reckoning up of all the totals, so it make's life a bit easier for me.

Thanks xx

BLIMEY!!!! I can't believe this! I've just counted up, and there was £671.80 in my pot!!!

That's Christmas sorted then, and maybe a few days away as well!

Thank you Sparky - I'm about to update my sig, and, please count me in for 2011!
