Never mind about not having started sooner - at least you have now! It'll be mayhem here on the 29th, the excitement is always at fever-pitch then. By the way, we start again on the 30th!
How about Rover for a name for you VW, no doubt tothers'll soon be along with ideas too.
Hi Kerry! A good healthy sum for your pot again, not long til you're opening it up now.

Yes I am an awkward so and so Sue!! It is so expensive in Switzerland (although salaries are higher to compensate) we are fortunate to be able to go to Germany or France for shopping (just 10 minutes in the car from where I am).
Germany is cheaper and I go to Lid* where the quality is excellent for bread and F&V.
We also get our VAT back as we're taking stuff out of the EUropean Union, and that goes straight in my pot!!!Trying to keep in budget.

Morning all,
What a beautiful day - the sun is shining. Just came back from the carboot sale and could have slept in as it is now closed until the spring. Never mind! The change I had for the sale amounted to £18 which went straight into the pot. I can accumulate more change in the months before spring.
No peace for the wicked. Have to edit my daughter's assignment which she has to submit today. Guess what she is doing? Fast asleep!

Hi Kerry! A good healthy sum for your pot again, not long til you're opening it up now. Do you still like your new(ish) job?
Job is alright. Been there for 2 months now.
Have banked £400. Some of the money is what I managed to save over the summer, whilst doing some voluntary work for about 3 weeks. Had fares and food paid for. Also some of that was other money I have managed to save recently. Signature updated.Frugal Living Challenge 2025 Mortgage free as of 1st August 20130 -

I have emptied the contents of my purse yes the whole contents well there was only 30p in there. Now I would really like a name for my lovely VW any suggestions?
How about Veronica?
My pot is called Patrick and today I added £1 car kill which DS found which was nice of him cos I said it probably fell out of his pocket
Also £20 which Mum gave me to pay for the lunch we had.
Can't wait till the 29th!
