    Evening

    £3.01 potted today.

    I can't believe how fast this year is going. I was thinking earlier that the shops will be full of Christmas stuff in a few week, well after children go back to school. I am sure last Christmas was on,y a couple of months ago!!

    31p in the pot today, flying visit as am still trying to get over the horrendous journey down to DH's parents to pick up DS. Seriously cannot remember the last time I felt this rough, had to go to bed on monday which worried DH as I never give in, but will fight through to bedtime every time I have a bad run :(

    Well done to anyone with good news, hugs to those with bad news, sorry, I did read all your posts but I just physically cannot retain any of the information in my head!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all, hope all are well or feeling better.

    cattysmum - I allocate £500 for Xmas and the rest will go on holidays.
    I don't normally target £100 and £600 is what I need and will probably do next year.
    I've also saved some money in a cashback site for my "free" turkey. It's all adding up and Xmas will be cheap this year.

    Potted 3 more £1 coins this morning after buying 5 Sun's. Morries voucher in a again today.

    cattysmum I save mine for Christmas. I don't expect any more than about £50 (quite possibly less) but it just upps the total figure a wee bit. If I don't use all the Christmas money I have saved (I save in a joint account with my sis too) then I can treat Little Miss Gap and myself to something before the savings start again for the next Christmas.

    I bought a pack of twix fingers today for a mid morning snack at work. 9 in a pack. They are seriously only about the size of my middle finger! £1.79 too. I will pot the 21p when I get home though ;)
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000
  • Just home from the night shift...it was my last one as I'm now on holiday for 12 days...hurrah!!

    I saw them on Tuesday! At the weekend, before they put the wall's worth up, they had them in boxes in a small stand!
