  • Morning @Keedie and @lellybun - I have updated the tracker with your additions!  

    I am definitely going to allocate an envelope for bonus amounts Keedie, I think some weeks you just naturally have more money than others which is why I decided to fill the envelopes randomly :)

    Yes I'm not doing mine in any particular order. Just gauging what I can afford to spare as the weeks go by. I'll fill the larger envelopes after the summer.

    £52 and £1 to be added for me please. Off to find a savings account to pay it into before I end up with too much cash at home 🙂
