Need to save £10k in 12 months, doable? I really hope so

Nymphadora

Not much to report today.

Another NSD

2.09 miles walked today.

Work today so absolutely done in

Nymphadora

Meant to add I weighed myself last night, 9st 12lb :eek:

For my height that's not great but I'm determined to reduce this.

Nymphadora

So 2.4 miles walked today.

Some spends as had to go shopping.

£1.99 m&s
£11.00 FF

First spends on the kids today £5.70 on some ice cream and drinks on their bike ride.

Lovely and warm here today hope for the same tomorrow.

Nymphadora

Well day off today, wasn't as nice but dry so we went for a walk. 5 miles done, my god I was totally surprised when I checked my phone. Feeling surprisingly good as well.

So finances

£21 spent in Waitress
£2.99 on the kids when out so will add this to my signature.

One washing on and that's about it on the housework front.

Tomorrow I need to do some housework and sort through the kids school uniforms and see what needs to be thrown out and what will do the new term. Though shoes have been binned they never last lol

Nymphadora

Mmmm seem my long walk the other day is taking affect. I've been absolutely done in.

So yesterday we spent £14.90 on a takeaway but DH did 8hrs ot yesterday.

Today I went food shopping. £33 Morrison, £12FF.

Don't plan on doing anything tomorrow, housework is fairly up to date.

Weather her was rubbish so we spent the day watching movies.

Nymphadora

Found it so hard to get moving today but I'm up dressed and have a second washing on.

Went through finances last night.

If we use my salary date we have £158.04 a week to do us for food, petrol and entertainment. If we use DH pay day we have £118.53.

Think we will just see how things go but I am determined not to dip into our savings.

I put £500 away this month would have like it to have been more but hey ho.

Kids will need some new school items but I have a £40 voucher for M&S so will use this for some things.

Right off to have lunch.

£500 Is a fab amount to save in one month, especially when your kids are off on their holidays so well done I only put a couple of hundred away last month no where near the £400 I was aiming for xx

Nymphadora

Yes I am happy with the £500 but I'm having to keep a close on everything to make sure that £500 stays in the savings account.

Sorry you didn't make your £400 target but any amount saved is good (really must take my own advice lol)

Nymphadora

Kitchen has been cleaned and dinner is in the slow cooker.

Kids beds have been stripped and just waiting to put them out on the line, though it looks like it may rain.

Went to FF spent £5.58 so figures now stand at £156.18 or £117.14.

DH and I have a few weeks off work with the kids after next week so need to start thinking of plenty of cheap things to do.

Nymphadora

Not been on for a few days. Weather has been good so we were busy getting the back garden tidy, still to do the front.

Spend wise it's been good not spent much on the kids. Next week we have a few things planned so will spend some then.

We have £157.55 a week till I get paid (or £105.03 till DH gets paid)

All bills paid and I have petrol in my car and there are a few meals in the freezer. Most activity's are free but one we plan to do is £26 to get in.

I have done two loads today so there hanging out. Not sure what's for dinner tonight so off to check the freezer.
