Tilly Tidy 2023

Morning all,
It's Sunday so it's totalling up time.....and my grand tidying total this week is £23.88!
I'm trying to maximise my interest and bonuses this month, my bank pays me a £5 bonus if I achieve certain criteria which I now have (just need to make sure I don't go overdrawn between now and the 31st) so am switching my spending to chase this week so should get more in the way of cashback than tidying.
Have a great week

@dreambig19 welcome aboard this small thread.
We do our bit of getting things sorted in small numbers. No judgment here. You simply do your own thing, what ever works for you. We have all done things each this year with a little more improvement than before. Please treat this lightly of making changes. I started of as a small game challenge - just to me. What ever you achieve is a result. Changing habits takes time but with money we can see changes occurring.

Morning All,
RL is certainly getting in the way with its challenges and I don't even work full time now!
I am still moving my Tilly Tidy money around and getting some satisfaction of the interest for savers going up.
We are mortgage free and do empathise with the interest rates on the other side of life and also the cost of living. I can empathise with those in there struggling we experienced this too in the 80's and 90's with high interest rates and doubled our mortgage too at that time. Tilly Tidy money was our only way to save a bit and then it would get taken/used one way or another and then we would start again. It worked and we survived.
For people who land on this site it is definitely life changing. It gives us a basic life skill which we were not naturally born with. It takes time remember that, ask any older person the sooner your penny drops or you smell the coffee stick with it, you will thank your younger self later.
@Divingmad a great week well done.
Have a good weekend
