    Evening folks.

    Finally a NSD. It's all taken hmm all month? Hehe. I really really want to buy the last book in the series I have been reading but it's not urgent so shall have to wait.

    No roadkill today, I think the kids forgot as I didn't remind them before going out. Either that or they were so embarrassed yesterday they decided not to do it again!

    So a grand total of £1.55 potted from change in my purse.

    Have a great night folks and feel better if you're poorly.

  • Glad to say I'm doing better at this challenge than earn a fiver a day!

    A big fat £10 added today (£7.15 savings on Tesco receipt and the rest was the difference between full price and reduce price on knocked down items and a few stray coins :j).

    Spent £141.00 at Tesco on shopping :eek: - however, it was a huge stock up after the Christmas splurge and I shan't need much for next 2/3 weeks which brings me well under budget for my £75.00 a week grocery budget :T
    £10 a day challenge Jan: £163.31 / Feb: 151.61 / March: £163.43 / April: £142.84 / May £342.21 / June: £182.32 / £203.09
    £10 a day challenge August: £30.70

    Hi all

    I too have managed to pot daily but am not counting although I am trying to do £1.00 a day if I can.

    I picked up my cupcake at the weekend and it is getting heavy and the sound is getting better as I drop the coins in, strangely addictive :rotfl:

    Never get chance much to read through but I hope everyone is doing well, (I am sure they are from what I have read)

    Almost the weekend yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    take care
