    No worries Bounty123, it’s got all year to accumulate and every little helps :). I don’t save anything at all from my wages, mine is all loyalty points, survey payments and topcashback on purchases.

    My total has had a lovely boost due to my first Morrison’s voucher and a YouGov payout. I’m hoping to fit another YouGov in before Christmas if they keep sending me surveys. New total: #6 £206/£730

    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...
  • Hey! I think all totals have been updated.

    I just want to apologise in advance, I may not get in here much in the next couple of months, I'm at 100 days to my wedding.

    My pot is still gradually building up :)

    I’m having a frugal month so just a little to add this week:

  • Payday tomorrow so there'll be a transfer of £31 into my savings account. It took a bit of a hit recently after I had to use the money in there already, to reduce my overdraft :( but better that than getting stuck in the inevitable rut of living within said overdraft!

    Anyhow, enough of the adulting, that'll be #21 £93 / £365 by my reckoning :think:
