19 Days down - 12more to go
Amount in no spend pot: £552.64 Goal: £598
98% to target
I'm £86 up in my goal pot this is the amount left from hubby's weekly wage after mortgage (£105), petrol (£15) and groceries (£100) have been deducted.
We had another great no spend weekend - took the kids to Oakwell Hall Park on Sat which has free parking and once again did a pack up so saved £15 again from a cafe. Also for the third friday running stayed in on friday afternoon rather than nipping into the pub- we would usually spend £25 easily every Friday.
Today I had to put another £15 in my cartaking total petrol up to £30 this week. Luckily we had some reserves in our bill pot. Extra petrol is due to four extra trips we wouldn't usually take.
I am already starting to look at feb to see what I need to budge for, I've written out envelopes for specific things which i am going to draw cash out for on the 1st Feb. These are:
Haircut myself & son - £17.50
Hospital parking for appointment-£10 (have two appointments in feb)
Pub money for nieces christening -£25 to spend at the party
Playgroup - £6
Total - £58.50! Just like that!
I also need to start buying some baby stuff next month:j0
