100 days to save

Thora

Welcome all new members!
Everyone has been added to the list
Good Luck!
I am so sorry to have not posted here or updated anybody,
I was away for new years and also Christmas was hetic in the end.

I have decided to start on January the 1st
as the Christmas period was a busy one for me and was hard for me to track & save
on top of everything going on.

I am looking to getting a few items taken off my gadget insurance that I no longer need,
as well as this I have cancelled some subscriptions too.

It's really good to hear everyone taking small steps owards their goals!
Keep it going!

Happy New Year!:beer:

Today is day 14 and I have saved £446.20 through a combination of not spending and being off work. Tomorrow will be different as I go back to work

snozberry that's a really good start!
Maybe try only limit the amount of money you take with you to work
or leave your card at home and take cash?

* Created a finance book to help me be accountable
* Asked my gadget insurance to take off 2 gadgets and try and cut my bill down a little
* I'm also off this week as I have a really bad viral infection (got sent to A&E on sunday thinking it was appendicitis as judged by the emergency doctor) so I wont be near any shops at all

Great ideas - thanks

I never have much cash on me but I can't leave the house without my bank cards - my anxiety wouldn't allow it!

Day 21 and I now have £658.40 through a combination of avoiding Amaz0n and yh shops!

I totally get that - it's one of the reasons why I always have mine on me
I am trying to be more vigilant with what I use my card for.

I've potted £7.00 into my savings pot & Moved £30.00 into my online savings account today.
I'm going to try and transfer a little bit of money each time I know I wont be using it to help me save it and not spend.

I've also started keeping a record of my finances to see how much I am spending in each of the catagories I've laid out. But I do need to tweak this a little as I've missed out some for this month and became panicy about working out my finances after.

I'm creating a list for ways to save during this challenge, if anyone is interested

Keep up the good work!
