Saving lots in pots!

~FlowerPot~

Saturday round up this week, yesterday turned into a crazy busy day driving everyone everywhere plus a bits of hedge pulling up added in for fun!!

Im happy this week with how it is all going, was a quiet work week this week. But next 2 weeks are much, much busier, so that will help And although I really want to pay any extra i can onto the mortgage i also want to add more into my pension as that needs urgent attention.

EF ~ now £1750 ~

Car pot: £450 ~

Health pot: 55

pension: £65 this week and sent £100 across from the holding pot!

Pupster excess pot ~ £16.78 ~ this is me new pot im hoping to get to £200 so any vet bill excess is covered. Adding small amounts here and there to this one, in no particular rush (as hopefully we wont need it!!)

challenges: 

£1 a day ~ £91/366

1p 365 challenge (XMAS savings) ~ £220

52 week envelope stuffing ~ £ 9/52   £21 and £23 this week from my £2 coin collection that ive stopped collecting!

MMOP ~ £125 FEB 
ISA - £0

LOL DS2 has just seen the MMOP sheet on the fridge and has asked slightly disparingly 'how many savings challenges ARE you doing?' !!!! 

Is it too many??? I have no money in my current acc, but the pots are building ~ woohoo!!!

I love the house picture! What a fab idea to add shrubbery and doors and windows haha I may have to add some other budgets pots around my picture to do the same

It's great having a visual record, keeps motivation going. Perhaps some small flower pots to represent £5's? 

Providing you've got access to money, does it matter having £0 in a CA? I used to run mine down to 1p on the week up to payday.

Blimey Wednesday already. Im having a very tired week. Just struggling with ding the essentials. So nothing much going on. 
I did snap up a£7.50 study last night that was only 8 minutes long. So that was a little bonus, and will go to the next house brick in my chart due OPs.

The new privet bare root hedglings have arrived and so that 150 to be planted ASAP. Im write glad its raining as i really don't have the energy to dig 1 hole let alone 150! It shouldnt be too hard to be fair, as they are bare rooted and the soil is all dug over when the existing hedge was removed. However not today! 


Gratefuls for today x

Its eye day. HAd to drop DH off at the hosptipal for 7.30 am so left at 6,45 as the traffic can be a pig, but it was good today, except the rain and the spray! Now its a wating game untill its done. Meanwhile I have DD to drive to her lesson, wait and bring home. By whcih time Im hoping DH might be done and I can go and collect. Apparently he will need 2 weeks off work afters! I said we will have to get some audio books, he will be so bored!!

Gratefulls:

The NHS ~ they are amazing, even more so under the conditions they work in

For DD getting up, without to much nagging!

For lovely black coffee, keeping me awake this morning!!

And now its still raining but the sun is out ~ im focusing on the rain stopping .....

thank you Doris~ 

my magic worked i went out at 10 am it was just slightly spitting, but it stopping and then, slowly the sun peeped out and stayed out. Lots of hedging planted within 2 hours. But lots more to do! It was good to get outside and feel the earth on my fingers and the sun on my back!

Its raining again now and looks like it will continue too for the forseeable!
