I'm pretty sure I have some pennies as we were very naughty and had fish and chips from the chippie for tea tonight, DH's PIP renewal form hit the mat, was posted on the 27th Dec! Thankfully it is not the same form that they used to send, sooo much easier and quicker to fill in so i've done it and put it in the envelope with his evidence to post off tomorrow, fingers crossed it gets there before the 27th.  I tried ringing for an extension as half our fill in time was taken up with the post but after being on hold for over 30 mins I gave up and figured i'd send it recorded and if there is not delivery attempt by the 24th i'll just have to sit on hold for an eternity for the darned extension after all.

Good Afternoon SPCers! 😊 I hope you all had a Thursday and are all staying well. Keep warm, and very healthy!! 

A VERY SAFE, HEALTHY & HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 😊🤩

Very well done indeed Rdpncp 

Good for you Lookafterthepennies2020. Keep going!

No doubt your fish and chips were in place of your meal, jakes-mum, so quite understandable. Not entirely sure what you mean about your Hubby's PIP form and the phone call, but good luck with it.

Have a lovely evening and a good Friday, and DO TAKE GREAT CARE .....PLEASE!!

Hello! I found £2 down the sofa and £18 in pockets. Sold a couple of things on ebay which is up to nearly £30 and I cashed out £14 on OnePulse so feel like this is going well so far! The problem is that with lockdown I've not been going out much and need to get the ebay and OnePulse money from the cash machine. Also looking like I might be getting a side-gig... If that works out the pot should be looking healthy! 🤞

PIP - Personal Independence Payment, what they brought in to replace Disability Living Allowance, That and the Employment Support Allowance forms are the bain of my life, my heart literally drops when they hit the mat every two years.
Yes definitely in place of our dinner and it was very yummy too!  Tomorrow will be a Maccy D's as its Miss Lily's big 13th Birthday! finally a teenager and as it's a lock down birthday with no day out with her mates she gets to pick tea.  DOn't get me wrong I don't mind a Mcdonalds but its hardly a substantial meal! but hey ho, the birthday girl gets to pick
£30 for the tin after I went to the bank and decided to take out and pot what I would have potted over the last month or so if I was using cash not my giftcards!

Potted some more travel savings this week. Will have to be a lot more imaginative when (IF!) work travel costs become a thing again. Think I’m doing ok savings-wise but have no idea how much I’ve potted so far, which for me is a big part of the fun of this challenge.
Hope everyone is OK - We of course tend to say we’re ok even when we’re not.  This is like a surreal never ending bad dream. My coping mechanism is knowing that there are people way worse off than I am, and of course many have lost loved ones.
Stay safe everyone. Maybe in a couple of months or so things will be looking a lot better.
