£365 in 365 days...... the 2011 challenge

Purpleclutterbuck

:j:j:jHello again to this brill challenge! Hiya Chickywiggle and all the other new and old 365'ers!
I actually started this again as it was so great to have some money for :xmassmile and NO dreaded feeling of starting another year further in debt because of overspending!
I was able to reassure my mum that the store cupboard bits I bought for her as a pressie were all taken care of and I had been saving just a £1/£1.50 a day - (she was so grateful and impressed by such an easy solution)it also paid for lots of other extras
So with a total of £14 to date I can only say it's great to be back and keep up the good work

Back after a long working week and my box has a pretty £31 sat in it:j.

Have swapped the £1s for notes cos we use cash a lot and £1 are really useful for gym, school dinners, snack etc. but is safe cos dh doesn't know I'm saving it so he won't be able to raid it!

Thanks chicky this is a great challenge

hi all

will update list when i get a min.

i'm failing miserably already as am using last years money as my spends for next few months - putting the £100 I normally give 'me' and £150 'household' onto the credit cards instead (makes sense in my head)....... as such i hate actually spending the money!!!

It also feels like cheating to take say £7 out my purse and put in pot as that is where it came from originally IYSWIM?!

So I think I may put in £30 (give or take) a month and then as and when i remember give DS some £1s to put in....... if i keep ticking it off on my calender I'll still stay on track.
