£1+ a day Mortgage OP challenge for May

SAVVYMUMMY_2

Just a quick update.

I`ve added another £3.00 from yesterday to my pot.
£1.00 daily and £2.00 saved from not having to pay weekly after school club.

So i`ve reach my goal for the month:j, but i`m still going to carry on and see how much I really can save this month, just by adding bits and bobs plus my daily £1.00

I'm going to have another go at this this month. So far i've saved £2 on groceries and £8 on freebie compost brnging my total to £10 so far. Hopefully it'll be another successful month - every little helps.

I have another £10 to add to the pot from some free topsoil for my potatoes (saves me paying £8 for a bag of compost) and another £2 saved on groceries. That brings my total to £20 so far this month :j

Oooohhh i'd like to join in please. Slipped a little from the OP wagon after making my first OP last month. I'm aiming for the minimum this month, so £31, and any more is a bonus. Have £8 so far so I'm only £4 short to be on track.

I've fallen off the wagon a bit the last few days myself, but will be starting again tomorrow

Quick update, as i`ve been away.

I`ve added my daily £1= £3.00

Haven`t found any more lost pennies down the sofa yet.

Yey well done on the win

I've been naughty and not been doing app trailers to add to my OP pot

However as i opened a regular savings account with a 4% interest rate i have added another £250 to that this month with the intention of paying it off the mortgage at the end of the year

Still here and still saving. Have put away £1 for each day so far, plus £15 lottery win at work makes £36 so far. Have listed some items on ebay that if they sell I will add to the pot. Also have a jar of 20p pieces that has nearly £19 so far. When the jar is full, that will be going on as well though it won't be by the end of this month.

Happy days

Kind regards

Yey well done on the win slowdown and your savings nice little pot gathering up there :T:T

Just a thought - why not pay the 20p jar off the mortgage when you get to £20? that way it will save you some interest and make better use of it rather than sitting in the jar for another month
