  • Hey my lovelies,

    Not long back my hol's & I have the major holiday blues :-(

    Anyway on to update, I am very happy that I am managing for the first time to keep up with my £1 per day, super chuffed with myself.

    Next challenge is to get my husband to keep up with it next year, he has fallen off it this year.

    Im going to use mine to boost for the last time, (should get a fair few as I was part of the christmas saver so haven't had any this year) most of the toys and presents sold in Tescos can be bought via Amazon.

    Each to their own though :-)

    Hmmmmm food for thought there....I had forgotten it was the last Boost thanks Westie. Well I will leave the decision about what to do until the vouchers arrive, I could do with some summer shoes/sandals. Otherwise they will be added to this challenge.....decisions decisions!!:p

    Just found £3 on the bookcase next to a packet of chewing gum which means it must have been mine so just stuck that in the tin :)

    Unfortunately I had to use my Savings....so I'm starting from Zero again :(

    Not to worry...I can still get there....I have faith in myself....

    If you can put my Total back at Zero that would be appreciated Ellie...thanks xXx :)


    Not to worry, you have plenty of time to save again and at least you had some savings to use;)

    Hello everyone.
    This month's money transferred to my Christmas savings account.
    Total £187.00.
    So excited that I'm not going to be panicking about money this Christmas!


    It's a great feeling when you are able to spend what you have saved and it takes all the stress away;)
