The savings pit

Well done you are doing brilliantly, August is always an expensive month with the kids off school and having to buy everything they need to go back to school. xx

Good to see you posting again 🤗 wow you have been busy! Well done on staying in the black & returning the shoes for a refund. My DS is 26 now so can’t advise on the lunch boxes 😆

I remember when people used old margarine tubs. lol. I use an old  plastic robinsons bottle for drinks. How tight am I? There is so much peer pressure now for kids. I hope you can get them something they want at a fair price. Always consider looking online too.

Omg how frightening for you all. So glad you managed to keep your cool and keep everyone safe.

All sounding very positive. Hope the mot goes well.

It's brilliant that you are painting your fences, I have loads too, but looks so good when it's done and it is an investment.  Well done on decluttering it calms me too. Meal planning on top of all you do is great. I never ever get round to it and am envious of all of you that do! Have a good week and good luck with painting.

It is bizarre how hard it is to make money and then how quickly it disappears on things we do need. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be a no spend or low spend day.

Well done on the fence painting. School uniforms are so expensive and the other small stuff soon adds up. I was so glad when my DS left school!

Well done for remaining in the black with all the high expenses at the end of the month and fence painting first fence done. I will do fences next year.

How wonderful to go out and be treated. It's well deserved after all the  painting and weed control. Both are the bane of my life. It's brill you can buy things for children as I am broke and waiting for wages on Tuesday!!!! Stay happy and it's great you are doing so much.
