Excellent! Still plenty of room on the bus...
I was posting about a £10 tidy the other day but last 2 have been £1.92 & 54p 😁
@Fidelia the shopping situation is a lot more strained here in the North of Ireland as GB food exporters weren't prepared for paperwork of Irish sea boarder 😱
I find contactless a pain for budgeting as my current account is always behind but it's Covid safe so more sensible all round. 

Trying times for everyone; hopefully our (relatively) painless savings pots will be a welcome boost to bills and debt repayments towards year end👍👌👍

Oh & N1 on the Ernie win! I got £25 last month but came up dry in Jan: fitting that im doing Dry Jan😊

😂 never be a tougher dry Jan than this.
£5.48 x 365 days is £2000.20: this pleased my inner geek... as you were😊

Good Luck with your Dry January, Sean.  Congrats on the Premium Bond win.  I was on a real lucky streak winning £25 or £50 on PBs every single month last year until I won zilch in December.  I thought my lucky streak had ended like so many others who say they were on a roll for several months and then absolutely nothing for a lot of the next year.  I was very relieved that I won the £25 this month

Only had a paltry 31p in total  to tidy over the past couple of days.  Signature updated.

It works out so far as a £2.73 daily average so could be worse I suppose.  At this rate though I'll only save £996.45 over the year so I'm hoping for bigger 'tidies' in the future.

No ££ spend on booze so far so that's good.

Nice Ernie wins! My luck has been about average to the mse pb calc the past few years. Holding out for the mil, 1 month😂

Yeah my tidies have been smallish the past few days but it'll pick up. The pot will look decent about Easter, super healthy in the summer and awesome by Halloween💪😊

Pushing for £2k would be class;
we did Dominos 2 4 1 (super Tue, lol) but with my freezer chips, chilli spiced baked beans & remaining slaw as own sides, it was £20.01 for 6ppl delivered so about best value dominos deal there is. In the main Jan spend has been frugal. Am always now thinking spend less, tidy more, haha

Your Dominos meal sounds yummy.  Made me hungry just thinking about it!  What a bargain.

Tidied £2.05 overnight after a credit card payment went out. Nothing else likely to be tidied today so  Total now £34.81

Fidelia

£4.50 tidied since last update.  Doubt there'll be any more until next week.  Sig updated, now £39.31 saved this month so far, a daily  average of £2.62 (I think!).

Have a good weekend, everyone.  Happy tidying.

Oooo I’ll give this a whirl. When do we post?

Fidelia

Welcome, Moneybelle.  I think we post as and when we have anything to tidy.  Sean mentioned checking our online banking every evening at 9 but it's not set in stone or even possible to update every day.  Maybe you have other ways of checking your account or maybe use an automated facility for rounding up.   I think whatever works for you will keep it fun and not a chore.  I'm sure Sean will be along later and can put you right.  Good luck with your saving.


Just reporting 3 very small tidies after my online banking was updated after the weekend.  A total of £8.46 added, the overall total now standing at £47.77.  That's an average so far of about £2.65 a day for January. 

Fidelia

A measly £1.67 to add since Monday but hey, every little helps.  Total now £49.44

It's very quiet on here now.  I feel like the female equivalent of Billy-No-Mates.  Is there anybody there??????
