Also I am going to use up my mahoosive stash of toiletries before buying any more this year. I'm potting an extra £1 each time I finish a bottle of something instead of buying more. I finished a bottle of shower gel today so that was an extra quid for the pot :T
That's a great idea! I shall copy that one as well, thanks!0 -

I have a very specific reason to do so and hoping to get near £500, I know it's a bit ambitious. This is for engraving on my hubby's gravestone, he passed away almost 3 years ago but every time I get the money up something goes wrong and it has to be spent.
This year I'm determined to get it done regardless of what happens, I managed to pay for the rest of the funeral but totally forgot about this, d'oh!
Thanks
That's a really good idea. I know only to well how expensive funeral's can be, I lost my mum five years ago - time flies it really does not feel like so long ago.0 -
