"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

£3+ potted yesterday

I know my total will be over £500 this year but will not be as much as last year due to way I am budgeting my money now.

Last year I included all the money I didn't spend from housekeeping each month into my sealed pot as well as cash back and other bits of money. Once I investigated I realised that I was allocating too much money into housekeeping, and although I was saving some of it I was also spending quite a lot.

This year I've budgeted less to housekeeping each month and if there is any over I let it roll over to the following months.

Still, I can't wait to see how much in total I've saved and it will all go to my birthday and Christmas funds for next year.

Made it to the end of the week without spending any of my £40 by making my own lunches, resisting new trainers, etc.

All £40 is banked, and took out another £40 for this week. Tomorrow night I'm going for a meal out for a work colleague who's leaving. So some of this weeks money will go, but that's what it's for & it's not every day someone leaves & we go for food.

Happy bank holiday everyone. I'm at home enjoying the gorgeous weather and feeling happy, and totally stunned, because I'm now engaged:j

£2.00 potted today. My potted money will now go towards my wedding, hopefully in February!

Many congratulations NeedToBeDebtFree, such an exciting time for you :j

Took the dog to the vet for his booster on the weekend. Poor old thing, he's developing lots of hot spots on his legs and chest and has to suffer the indignity of being rolled upside down twice a day for me to rub gel in him. Not a happy doggy.

However, while we were out with the dog, DH gave me a £10 note to pop into the supermarket for a few bits and pieces as I didn't have my purse with me and I conveniently forgot to give him the change :cool:. Not sure how much I potted but every little helps :T

Also have £6.26 to add to the pot today

I found 2 €0.01 euro coins in the car yesterday, does that count? :rotfl:

Had to buy 4x new brake discs for the car yesterday, already got the pads sitting waiting to be fitted also. Luckily EuroCarParts have a 30% bank holiday weekend discount on, so cost me £70 instead of £100.

Works out at £17.50 a disc, so can't complain too much. I'll be fitting them myself which will also save a couple of hours in labour at the garage. :T

I've been potting handfuls of change whenever I can.

Sue, I do the national lottery but get nowhere near what we've spent on it back. Although I did win another £2.70 last night.
I keep telling DH we should stop playing it but he refuses to let me cancel.

Congratulations and welcome back to those concerned.

hugs to all.
