    Hi I would like to sign up please. Aiming for 20 days (new baby and full freezer means leaving the house to spend monkey is more trouble than it is worth!). Exclusions are dd and petrol.
  • Hi, can I sign up for 20 please

    Petrol
    DDs and bills etc
    Emergencies

    Xmas Saver!
    I'd like to sign up for 20 .

    I got fired from my job yesterday & trying to save as much as I can,
    I get paid on the 7th August. But I have a month to get a new job before we start struggling.
    I'll be using my wedding savings for emergencies if worst comes to worse and my fiance has a lot stashed away in case.

    I spent £2.30 today but on cereal as we had nothing for breakfast.
    So I won't count it.

    I won't medicines / needed tablets such as hayfever (i suffer badly)
    And bills, normal shopping or things that have been allocated a budget

    Emergency Savings - £15.55 / £1,000 :heart: XMAS '19 Savings - £0.00 / £365 :heart: Holiday savings - £6.00(SA) £00 (PB)

    I'd like to sign up with a target of 7 this month please. The kids are off school, we're away a lot and other issues are making this not my top priority. I'd still like to beat my total of 5 last month though.

    My only exclusions are DDs and SOs.
