    Or save with the local credit union?

    I think you have to go in branch to withdraw so that might remove some of the 'ease' of dipping into it x

    Toady has been a nsd, have started leaving my purse at home so i'm not tempted into spending money on a whim
    I have had a good day from FB sales £33. £5 each to ds2 and ds3 from that for the school xmas fayre on saturday as i forgot about it and didnt add it to my budget. Ive secured myself a stall at the fayre so will hopefully make a bit of money then.

    Good luck! :) You are doing well!

    I have a budget called "things I didn't budget for" - I end up using it every month, and I would say get one also.
