Second Purse Challenge 2012

mooomin

I don't have anything special that I have to have but I would like to aim for my first £100 and see how I go from there.

I do a lot of cardmaking/crafting (link to my blog is on my homepage) and I'm sure that I'll find something that's a must-have soon enough

Sorry everyone I've been doing my tax return

LOL!Dont apologise,all this work would have looked a bit daft if you got yourself whacked with £100;) Did you get it finished?

#009 reporting an end of month balance in purse 3 of £54.13 :T

(I don't actually have a purse 2, as I'm buying stuff from my stocks that I had in pre 1/1/2012 in an attempt to reduce my personal food and toiletries mountain and don't want to be tempted to add more to it :rotfl: )

My target for the year is £640, which equates to £53.33 per calendar month - meaning I've slightly exceeded my monthly target

I know were you are coming from cw18, I have to get my mountains down too.

Before Christmas I donated boxes of food and toiletries to a homeless charity, good feeling to be help others

polkadot you're looking at 2p a teabag there and about 13.4p a wash, I can't advise on the tea I'm afraid but I think the Daz is fairly reasonable, someone can correct me if I'm wrong

cw that's awesome well done I've updated your total

flying fresian I had added your goal

sunflower yes thank you, and the tax man owes me money for once. First one I've ever done and I think I missed some stuff off but nevermind

I'm all ready to go with starting this tomorrow. I already have a grocery purse that I use so just need to find a cheap one for this challenge

I have diverted £10 from my bills account to start with, and have £15 from my various coin jars that I'll change at the bank tomorrow. I've made sure I have plenty of change just like a real shop

Thanks for starting this challenge. Now I have my head around it I'm looking forward to it!

What a good feeling knowing they owe you :T

When you get your money you can use it to stockpile more :rotfl:

Mr M have campbells rice and pasta on offer 32p & 47p - Using the money off coupon (from the vouchers thread) makes them 12p & 27p - Good time to stock up :T
