Best Coin Forward Challenge (Formerly "Bear Essentials")

emsikins

Hello everyone, it's great to see our little group growing so hi to all the newbies too!

Another £1 for me, it's always good at the start of a month because of pay day! I'm having to be extra careful this week, last week I joined the weekly spending challenge but forgot to account for money going into this pot! Whoops! So this week I am having to remember what I put in my pot and take that off as of it is spends!

2 x 10p for me last night. Haven't needed to go to the Bank yet this week although all that will change today as I have a prescription and the window cleaner to pay out for later plus my travel ticket tomorrow. x

Morning all,

Hope your month got of to a better start than mine . . . .Just 10p for me yesterday but another NSD so not so bad

I don't have any coins in my purse and I don't plan on leaving the house today so it might be 0p for me today :eek: I would have to spend £1.60 on busfair if I did go out so not spending that and a NSP make me feel ok about it

Please can I join too?

I already save £2's and have a coppers jar, but this seems like another great idea to stash away a little extra every day.

Will make up for yesterday (when my purse was empty), and put two coins in tonight.

Not sure what I will use the extra for - we are operating on a pretty tight budget at the moment, so the odd treat would be welcome!

3 x 5p for me today. Been to the bank but haven't "broken" the notes yet! Am hoping window cleaner will have change when he calls!

£1 for me today. Doing better this week.

Thought I'd let you know, emsikins, I'm using this challenge along with save on work lunches. I save my best coin in my drawer at work and twice a month treat myself to a coffee out. Anything extra will be saved saved saved. V proud of myself as a couple of years ago I would've bought a coffee every day!

welshangel

£1 for me yesterday aaaaaaaaand £1 for me today! :-D

Wondering where all the £2 coins are as I can't remember when I last had one!
