And I'm off ;

weekly shop £50 allowance spent £35.09 :j will log £10 as may have forgotten something or run out before the weeks up
I did count my penny jar but before I could bank it No 3 child pleaded poverty for the weekend:( not seeing this as loss but just not a gain
Inspired by Jakes mum Xmas spreadsheet done, mild heartattack at the total and pledge to save on All pressies.... Will bank every penny saved as I normally find that cash from somewhere !!!!

Random letter arrived addressed to Hubby (and his Dad as trustee) stating the rate of interest was changing on his child savings account! As he's 33 we were a tad surprised :rotfl::rotfl: Anywho, went into the branch to find out more and turns out there is £14.20 in the account which has been built up over the last 20 years! Parking cost us 20p so thats a nice round £14 added to my total this month.
In other brilliant news, Hubby then sold his motorbike tonight :j:j:jHe's been off work for 4 months after a major accident on the bike which put him in hospital for 2 months, so I'm thrilled its gone. It will really help as we have been struggling on sick pay so will put a bit of a float in the bank account, put some away to cover xmas and then pay the rest off debts. Not gonna count this as part of my total for the month though as I find it really motivating to have a target to aim for.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0
