Tilly Tidy to £1825 by 31/12/2021!

IrishSean

Hey Guys! I am soooo sorry I havent been on in ages. I too was doing Census work for extra income then a whole lotta things decided to break at home, that needed replacing. 

As a result I borrowed £900 out of my Tilly Savings until Monday, to stay out of the overdraft, but i'll b popping it back in then.

I had a read up and you are all doing amazingly well!

I cant believe i'll hit the £1k mark next Tue, for something that is a genuine tidy of just over a fiver a day.

I'm loving the premium bonds shift at 'half time' as it is now. I wish everyone who does move their pot to Bonds, above average luck👍, and if you get a BIG win, post it up on this thread!

I'll be on more during our last 6 months of the challenge & well done again with your savings to date👌

Great to see you back, Sean.  I was beginning to think you'd been abducted by aliens!

Ouch to the expense of multiple things breaking.  I know how painful that feels.  Not so much worry now that I have savings to cover it though, thanks to you.

Well done on being within days of reaching the £1k mark.  Take care.

Tally for this last full week of June was £33.30.  Better than I expected really.  Running total for June now £116.98 and fingers crossed that there'll be a final little trickle to add before 30th.  2021 total so far is £598.02.  This is already beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks for the encouragement of  being part of the challenge and feeling accountable in a strange kind of way.  Makes me more determined not to backslide and I think and hope the tidying habit has become ingrained by now.


Happy Tidying, everyone !

Nice to see you checking in Seán and well done on clawing your spent money back!! We're going to have to unexpectedly move shortly - possibly buying for the first time so trying to hang on to what I've saved so far might be a problem 

Nearly averaging £100 a month then Fidelia! That's great!

I'm at £178.27 this month thanks to some backpaid benefits and a survey cash-in. I'll bump it up to £180 if it doesn't get there itself tomorrow...

Fidelia

Well done, Starla.  Hoping you find somewhere really nice to move to and that it all happens without hassle.  Exciting times ahead for you xx


Final little tidy of the month.  £12.70 saved and £129.68 for June as a whole.  My best month yet so I'm really pleased how it's all going.  Just hoping it carries on like this for the second half of the year. 2021 total now £610.72 so I'm optimistic that I'll crack my £1000 target.


Happy July, everyone.  Keep tidying!

Starla

I did bump it to £180 for June in the end. Up to £823.71 as £0.66 went in today

I have every faith you'll get to £1000 Fidelia! You're well over halfway and there's still half a year to go.

Morning, all.

First tidies of July total £20.95.  I like to update my total on here weekly every Sunday evening.  It's  the tally for 4 days so I'm quite pleased with it.  Hopefully more to come this week, I'm going to have to actually spend money this week instead of just trying to save it (insert gnashing teeth emoji !) so there'll probably be several small amounts to tidy up.


Wishing all tidiers a good week

Fidelia

Quick update for first full week of July.  No spending planned before Monday so will declare the week's tally as £28.84.  Brings July total so far to £49.79 and year to date to £660.51.


Enjoy the weekend.  Stay safe, all.

Fidelia

A pretty poor week for savings but at least I wasn't spending much either, meaning I had few oddments to tidy.  Can't win both ways I suppose.  Just £15.86 added to the pot this week. Total of £65.65 for July so far and £676.37 for the year

Starla

Another low month so far, only £13.77. Maybe need to actually tidy a bit more ha ha!!
