    Hi mumsy, This is our first meeting, though having seen your name mentioned so much I feel as though I almost know you already. Re the sealed pot money, the main thing is that it's gone to a worthwhile cause and that's really what you put it away for. Well done and good luck with the re-launch! Sue

    Hello everybody :)

    Mumzy, I think you are doing the best thing possible, so don't worry about it. Your debts being cleared are far more important and will have a long-lasting effect, especially if you are able to save without worrying about them in the future. 'Phil' sends a hello and says he's gaining weight ever so slowly, as he only gets fed the odd penny now and again. (He often gets shaken at the others to empty their loose change into him becaue I never have much to spare.) I think that's what your challenge was originally about - sealing the pots for spare change. :D Well done for setting up the challenge and for getting back on here despite everything that has happened to you. :T
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Frugal living challenge - living on little in 2025 while frugalling towards retirement.
