Todays £1 is in the pot plus 10p because I pinched a brilliant idea from pozza 73. My plan is to fund this by eating less but I keep forgetting that bit.

Sparkly Lady, you have just given me an idea to fund by eating less. I have put on more than half a stone since the summer which is annoying (but not surprising) as I had lost quite a bit last year and kept it off for ages. Anyway, I am going to boost my Christmas savings by £5 for each pound that I manage to lose. Slowly but surely is the way for me, but it should mount up as the weight melts off (I wish).

I am up to £16.80 now. Quite motivated at the moment but it will be hard not to "dip into it" when it mounts up.

I do slimming world and recently got to target, As an incentive to keep it off I put the £5 saved by not having to pay fee on the fridge door. this will give me £45 by Christmas. Hoping to continue this in the new year.

Another £1 transferred today.
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. We had a little flurry of snow this morning which my dog hates. I had to drag her out the door.:D
