Well i need a bit of motivation, it just seems as though i got no money to spend in order to add to the jam jar, especially as it a week and a half till pay day and there is not much left in the bank. looking on the positive i do have 99p to add to my sig, and a second positive is that im not spending any money i wont be inclined to reach for cash/ plastic that i havent got!! feel better now. hope you are all doing well xTerrimundi saver :money:

I haven't spent much money this week either cos its payday on Wed & I am short of cash!
We will get there, slowly but surely. There is no point spending just to create change, lol!
