hi everyone, just a quick quarterly check in

i am still here, still potting everyday that I can. think im doing quite well but i just cant stop spending!! im not in debt but my spare cash always goes instead of in the pot. i know what on but maybe i should get a little notebook (more money!!!) and keep a spending diary!
anyhow. any tips appreciated and maybe i need to post more often to focus my mind

I'm out of work as of today, so there will be less potting from my own change, but I'll be keeping an eagle eye out for roadkill
Oh mooomin, I am so sorry to hear that
I hope things improve very soon x
Change from shopping potted : £1.05 which leaves me a tenner for the rest of the week. It should be plenty.....
I have to do a bit of financial juggling in the next few days as a fixed bond is maturing this month and I rely on the interest to top up my pension. The new bond rates are pants so I know that my income will drop by around £40 a month :shocked: It doesn't sound like a lot of money but £40 buys fuel for the car for about 3 weeks
I intend to write down all spends for the next month as they occur and try to analyse where I can make savings. I don't really want to spend any of my savings at this stage on day to day living as it can never be replaced :cool: Sorry to digress sue but I needed to write that down to help me feel more positive
