    Hypno, I love the idea of your Rome and Barcelona pots. What a good use of money that would otherwise be 'frittered'!

  • Skeggy or Rome, probably get more value for money in Rome :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. The price of parking in Skeggy would buy a quality cup of coffee in Rome!

    Packed lunches made for all three of us today, and coffee duly avoided.....so more money to go in the pot.

    Also, my cleaner is not in this week because she is on hols, so that is £18 I am not paying out - but yet I have to budget it every week, so I am going to transfer that amount into the travel pots too.

    I have had the expense of car parking for the last couple of days, rather than the bus, because of things like hospital appts etc that I have needed to get to, so that is a bit of a nuisance, but nothing really that can be done to avoid it.

    That said, it does again remind me that my "spare" cash has to cover so much more than I thought - £5.20 for a days parking is quite a lot when it hasn't been considered.....I do budget for my bus fares, but not generally for odd days parking.

    Have a good day and keep those spends low!! (or at least account for them!!)

    I'm not sure whether to be proud of that fact or to apologise for it :rotfl:

    Every week, I do one line of lottery numbers - only ever the main draw, never the thunderball or any of the "extras" that have been introduced.

    Same numbers each week, based on birthdays etc.

    How gutted was I then, to see in the paper that all 5 thunderball numbers from last night are my lottery numbers :o:o:o

    OK, so I NEVER do thunderball, so wouldn't have won it anyway......but even so!!!!!
