    not sure I'd be able to access a spreadsheet as my Chromebook doesn't let me do lots of things, annoyingly.

    Anyway, £20 to date (£2 a day in December). I am definitely going to set up a standing order into the Credit Union starting 31st January (payday) so, if I can manage £60 per month extra I will.

  • My £1.10p is safely in the pot. My plan to fund this from eating less has also gone to pot. Went into the cafe in M&S and had a cappuccino with a nutty caramel syrup and a croissant with strawberry jam. That colossal number of calories cost me £5! £5 I could have saved.

    And I hope you enjoyed it, Sparkly Lady. Life is for living, one eye to the future but the present is more important.

  • Well what I'm doing is that every Wednesday when I get paid (I get paid Weekly from that Job) I am going to the Bank and getting 7 x £2 coins and then putting them in a Tin that has a Lock on it....


    I put in next Week's money already so I'm up to £42....Am aiming for £730 across the Year....


    Really excited that I'm able to save at the moment.... :)
