  • Hello :j
    Just £3.90 to add for me today. Interest on my savings account. I know really I should pay my savings off my debt and then I would be debt free. BUT i really really want a new kitchen and my debt is at a low and manageable level so I overpay that every month and save a little aswell. Not the MSE way I know but its what works best for me.

    Instead of counting savings this month on BOGOF i have gave myself a budget for the month for shopping / fuel and therefore anything i spend less than this will get added to my savings, thus stopping me being tempted by offers i wouldnt normally buy, and encourage me to walk more!!

    Plus walking may make baby oliver appear sooner, still no sign!!

    Hope this isn't classed as cheated (too much) but easier for me to budget this way whilst off work. 1st day off and bored already!! :eek:
    Make £0/£100 Feb 2016 (Late starter)

    Managed to get an extra £2 for my euros due to the exchange rate and found a £5 voucher I got from Morrison Miles card in the car, so I've updated my total.

    Must stay off the grabbit board though, ended up buying a HP wireless printer last night, but it was a bargain and paid for with Paypal money that was left in my account from selling various junk on eBay. So I'm telling myself that it was as good as free!
