Rounding down the bank account really does add up more than you realise. You should head over to the Payment a Day thread and join us with your rounding down

We are not as committed too it as you 😀LittleMissDetermined said:Rounding down the bank account really does add up more than you realise. You should head over to the Payment a Day thread and join us with your rounding down
Gets a bit difficult to do it everyday towards the end of the month as well 🤣🤣🤣0 -
I shave off the oddment of any payments that go in the bank plus any oddments left over from budget pots and that pays for Christmas. Beforehand it went to pay off the credit card. It’s going to be hard to find spare cash at the moment so any amount no matter how small is better than nothing.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Totally understand, but most don’t pad every day like I do, just when they have made a payment xRelievedSheff said:

It certainly won't be a no spends day today. In fact it will probably be a very spendy day. We are off to the coast for the weekend in the van. Booked into a nice pub tonight that comes highly recommended for its pies. 52 of them to choose from but they are a bit pricey.
The other half has requested a McDonald's breakfast this morning so we will grab that on the way.
We do have some soup and bread for lunch which I will warm up on the van. Chilli 3 bean soup and cheese and jalapeño bread.
The plan is to take the dog for a long walk on the beach before we head to the pub. He will like that.2 -
Sounds like a brilliant weekend. How will you make a choice out of 52, decisions decisions 😆 Have a great time 🍻I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Could this be the infamous Piebald Inn? If so, hugely recommended and I bet you really enjoy it.RelievedSheff said:It certainly won't be a no spends day today.
