I seem to be spending my 1% (£47) at the moment, so tonight I am going look at my bank a/c, not get stressed and calmly work out how much I got left for month!

Hi Little Miss Uni-Debt, great thread idea, can I join you?

My 1% is £40.00.

Erm, thing is I cancelled as many subscriptions and memberships as I could this morning, do they count as % if they are direct debit's that will no longer be going out?

Really motivational thread.

@ruby - welcome to the 1% club!! If you take what your direct debits were and put that money away then it will count towards your %s. But if you are just letting it go into the general population of money then it won't count.

Emzilla & Ruby789 - You've been added!

Emzilla - Yes, it's good to start with a manageable goal. Plus when you hit your goal the important debts will have been blitzed!

Hey Ruby - Yes, you can count your previous DD's towards your 1% as long as get to put the cash saved towards your goal.

bpsp10 - Great deal on the washer! :T

@KitchenBunny - I like that idea, so 10p is 1% of your 1%

@Liz-paul - It's good that you're setting up your childmindling through the proper channels. You may miss out a little before you start but when you're registered you can rest easy.

@Lesgeo - At this rate you'll get all of your 1%'s from ebay! You're gona make a small fortune!

Hi all, was given another £15 on a bingo site and have just withdrawn £360 to my paypal so that shall hit the bank by friday woop woop, going to put it straight into my savings account. Have managed to list some old laptops on ebay that have bids and watchers so hoping they make up another 1% after fees...
Achieved just over 5% of my £10900 total this month so really am chuffed

SEASHELL

Thanks for adding me to the list. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in :j. I probably won't hit my first 1% till September. My dd starts her summer holidays next Tuesday so I usually scrape through August money wise, because my work dries up then. I've set up a money box and any extra pennies will go into that towards my 1%. I've also a ton of stuff to ebay so hopefully I'll get a start x

liz-paul

Thanks little miss - I know I'm best off doing it the right way, it's just hard to stay motivated! I need to remember that in the grand scheme of things we hvae always managed on 1 salary so a few more weeks/months isn't really going to hurt us....
Well done everyone else on your 1%'s, I feel like I'm slackin now

Another 1% in the ISA today Brings me up to 11% so I'm pretty chuffed That was from a savings account my mum opened for me when I was a baby, plus I cleared the pennies left in my bank accounts ready for a fresh balance sheet on payday, on Friday

The plan is then to put £250 in the ISA straight away from my wages, and also all of the overtime money I should be getting- round about £80. Can't wait for Friday

Liz- I always feel like I'm slacking! I was sitting at work trying to think of extra ways to earn- I'm pretty good at saving, but not so much earning!

Ordered ASDA but my quidco isnt showing up yet, does it take a while?

Well i havent done amazing today as we ended up getting a subway at lunch, DH owed a friend for lunch so i tagged along Was delicious but i was shocked at the price!! I also spent £15 on nursing bras but Mamas and papas were doing 3 for £15 with free postage. There bras were £18-25 for one so saved £45 on those and they will come in handy So thats more an investment.

Got all but 1 of my ebay sales posted today. Got a few watchers on things but the only thing i have a bid on is that headlesss razor handle :rotfl:

Making a list tomorrow of all the things i need for baby still (think its mainly clothing and the car!) and also going to make a list of all known expenses until November that we need to budget for, i already have an expensive first week in august and the whole of september. Off the top of my head i have: 2 baby showers, a 60th wedding anniversary, 15 birthdays!, our wedding anniversary, stag do, hen do, babys arrival and a wedding! :eek:

Hi
Could I join please? I've been watching this thread for a few weeks now and its really motivated me to try harder to pay off what I can. I am concentrating on my very and barclay card which amounts to £2000, so my 1% is £20.

I've already paid 5% from my Very account, so its a start. Its all on buy now pay later so I need to get it cleared before they add the interest!
