Hi everyone
I'm going for £2 a day this time, I saved £1 last time and I haven't opened the pot yet. I have bought or made my Xmas presents this year and there will only be three for Xmas dinner which will be taken care of by the way of saved tesc@ vouchers , so I think I'm ready this year. So I think my pot amount will go into my emergency fund.
I'm not really very good at saving but having an unopenable tin is the way forward for me.
Nannyg2024 is going to be a positive year for me, and it's starting now!!
Buys: All budgeted and paid by cash!
Jan - fridge/freezer
Hoover
Feb - milk frother, curtain pole x2, roller blind - bathroom, toilet seat, bath sink taps, kitchen sink waste unit and an extra double electric socket.
March - raised bed for garden, bathroom cabinet, roller blind - kitchen
April - nothing
May - nothing as yet0 -

Well, I was about to ask to join in, but because I already put my hand up on the old thread, Ellieseven had already added me. Thank you Ellie! And I'm number 21 too which is my birthday so I'm well chuffed with that
I will be transfering money to a savings account as I'm not one for cash really. I'll stick to the £365 target but hopefully I'll add a little extra in there.
I did it on my own last year and think I'll be coming up about £100 short... Probably because I kept raiding the pot!
I'm stupidly excited to join this challenge instead of going it alone0 -
