A very expensive day today of car service and MOT - £180 and then dog grooming hair do today too £31. Anyway, had a think about budgeting for next year and have devised a plan to save up with a safety cushion for next year's MOT and service to put a monthly savings plan in place.

My head is in the right place now to save up for it, plan for it and not worry about the expensive next time around. Also have to save up for another job to do on the car along with the car tax and have also devised a savings plan for that alongside hopefully some ebay sales which I'll be listing over this weekend.

I save for my car tax each year throughout the year. I do this by saving £2 coins. Everytime I get a £2 coin in goes in a pot, and by the end of a whole year I usually have around £80, which makes a huge difference to the £100+ bill for a disc.

I managed to scrape another NSD on Thursday taking me to NSD #6 Won't be one today as we're going out to Tropical World to have a bit of a wander out and I need to buy a Christening present for my friend tomorrow. I think I know what I'm getting though. I need to remember to claim money back for the 150 buns I baked for Children in Need for us to decorate at school as that will cancel out my spend on Wednesday (which was all baking stuff!)

Hi All,

Another whole week of not spending takes the total to 16 and 16 in a row:j:j

Have even opened a savings account and it's got some money in it (for the first time in years!):D

Must get some more liquid gold today, but still in budget (just) so won't count as a spend.

Red wishing your Mum a speedy recovery.

I've just listed my first thing for around 3 years

I got a bit fed up with e*bay as I used to buy bulk clearance lots and re-sell - I paid off a lot of my debt tho' but just couldn't face it anymore!

Re-selling (and therefore having to package mostly individually) 1000 slipper socks springs to mind as one of the most memorable bulk buys!:eek:

Thanks Marmite .... unfortunately the Others one has been errr decimated to prop up my main account and is pretty much wiped out totally:o.

The good news is that the House & Car one is up and running well so that's down to "normal" monthly payments after having to overpay it most of the year :T and the Pets one is (and has been for a couple of years) sorted too:T.

Guess one of my .... targets (? not sure if that's the right word) for 2013 will be to get the Others pot up and running properly:)

It probably was too much to ask to get them all going in the 1st year so trying not to be too hard on myself!

Great results freeby & rising :j
Glad that your mum is a wee bit better red.

Happy Saturday all.
Hoping for a NSD but will report later.
