The Spreadsheet Diva's MF Diary

SueP19

Life is sent to try but you're a do'er so I know you can. I have started a penny challenge save 1p on first 2p on 2nd and so on till 31st December and the total comes to about £677 I think xxx

I read about that challenge and someone mentioned it got a bit expensive for December, which would be for me, so they are doing a month at a time, then when the next month comes round they start at 1p again, if I remember right it comes to about £56 (can't be bothered working it out just now).

Hi Sue

Meal plan for a month!!! That's great. I used to do that - tend to do just a week at a time at the mo (since we moved) - really should try and get one done till the end of the month.

It really does make a difference.

Happy Friday.

I'm hoping so, I usually do a week without thinking and it's not really helped but to know how many packs of cheese you need is handy Just bought 4xYS 350g mature cheese for £1.25 each and 4xYS beef sausages for 67p each :j:j:j:j I would have bought more but freezer is fulllllllll to the brim :eek:

I bought an A5 diary from P*undland and just wrote :cool: then made a list

Yeah I agree the last week comes to £25.41 So I did a little spreadsheet with all the numbers on and intend to save the larger amounts through the year, so tomorrow £3.66 instead of 9p :D:D

OH is paid weekly so I can pre-pay the last 52 days during the year :D:D:D:D But £56 is a nice sale handbag amount next Christmas

Day 32

Not a bad start to the day picked up 4 pack of sausages (I now have 10 packs altogether so that Feb sorted) and 4 packs of cheese, total saving of £11.32

Did some Tilly Tidy and received my first little bit of interest 6p on that new account :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Odd as the EF Fund which has more than £300 in has had no interest :mad::mad::mad:

I have also completed all my savings for this month in terms of Christmas Fund 2016, Pet Fund, etc I thought if I take care of those first as soon as I could then they won't clutter the rest of the month.

To be honest it's all a bit trial and error for me at the moment, I have always had a problem finding what works for me and boy have I tried over the years

Forgot to get some savings stamps from Mr M this am so will have to trot back in there, have £3 cash so that's alright.

Weekend is looming and I wish I could say I was doing something daring/exciting/amazing but I have craft items to finish for a shop

OH has now decided that when he finishes OT he will tackle DD old bedroom :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Er no MR. I have it all planned and the stuff ready, trouble is I am a bit of a slowly slowly catchy monkey and he is a Road Runner. So I can see him not doing it to MY standards ............trouble is I am sure I can't find time to tackle it before his hours drop, let hope the sugar factory stays open longer :j:j:j

Happy weekend to you, I'm sewing .... I don't like it much, but I'm off work so a bonus.
Monthly meal plan is very organised. I feel amazing if I just do a freezer list

I tried with a spreadsheet and just couldn't get it to work so thought a diary might help and it looks to be working. I highlight the items I have then I know what I don't.
This am in Mr Ms I got months supply of toilet rolls and a couple of other things xx
