Thank you savingholmes for your encouragement ,you help to keep me motivated ..Everything is due as always to my wonderful husband who works seven days a week and to the very simple life we are living and to the fact we have taken every part of our budget down to the bone .2

Week 3 numbers ..
Money saving in PBs for mortgage £500 ..Total £1500
Other savings £100 ..Total £600..I missed the hundred by three pounds but took it from another pot to make it up to the £100 ..
Very pleased with the first three weeks numbers ,all on target and the extra savings number is brilliant too...I think i will be over on my food budget this week as i had been eating up everything i had in the fridge ,freezer and cupboards so any extra i spend will have to come out of this weeks savings2 -
