That's me & the Husband both really making an effort to put as much as we can away.
Gonna keep it up, it's good to see how it builds up.

So yesterday added some smoosh to the bottle.
Decided yesterday that we are going to use the smoosh to pay for our anniversary trips every year.

That's a great reason to save and good that its a joint goal as a couple. A great incentive for you both.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
House sale OCT 2022 = NOW MORTGAGE FREE 🤗
House purchase completed FEB 2023 🥳🍾 Left work. 🤗
Retired at 55 & now living off the equity £10k a year (until pensions start at 60 & 67).

Got quite a big deposit in my bag, will add it to the smoosh bottle when I get home!
Been shopping & most places were like I am so sorry I have no £5.00 notes, that's fine with me! Hand me those shiny new pound coins for my little Priscilla to fatten her up
£23.00 in £1.00 coins
£0.50 in £0.50 coins
£1.80 in £0.20 coins
£0.08 in shrapnel
Not too bad, I really should be keeping this to try & get me through the month but going to put it away straight away.
One way to last on a tight budget is to not carry cash around with you, I feel money burns holes in my pockets as my Mum used to say!
