A Travel Savings Binder sounds interesting.

Morning! I think I jinxed the weather... It's still warm this morning but very overcast. You're completely right, @FootyFanDan I'm so much happier when the sun shines.  I was still awake early with the birds but I'm ashamed to say that I did nothing productive with my time, I was just doom-scrolling social media. (not like me)

So, only a few more days to pay day (27th) and the accounts still have some funds so I've added £50 to the sinking funds today along with my £5 to the sabbatical.  Most of the sinking funds will now be allocated to travel until I have what I need for the holiday. 

It's not a NSD for me today, as I am out tonight with the girls for a few hours. I am driving though so it won't be too spendy. I have my cash budget to use anyway. 

That's it from me, I have a busy day ahead at work so I will make myself a coffee and get cracking!
Have lovely days!

Aww thanks so much! They definitely aren’t professional quality but I enjoyed making them and they serve my needs. I’ll hopefully be making another set soon for a family holiday to the canaries next Easter time.

Morning all, it's pay day for me tomorrow so I have moved spare funds to savings and sinking funds.  This amounted to £91 including the £5 to the sabbatical so not an insignificant amount. In fact, I'm just £5 off fully funding the train tickets to the airport in my travel binder.

It's a NSD for me today, no plans now until Sunday so should be able to get a few more in too.

That's all from me today, short and sweet!

Travel binder is brilliant. I could with making them for our little trips.  Will look out for some small binders. Is it A5 size?

It's an A5 binder from Amazon, then the pockets were made from laminating pouches and white greaseproof paper I got from Dunelm. For the lettering I used metallic markers that I'd picked up from Amazon too. I also used the materials to make some placeholders for when things have been paid/funded or banked.

Thank you! What a lovely thing to say I do hope it will keep me focussed on funding travel in the future.

I really must have a go at this, such a lovely idea. Could also put pages in with lists of all the other things to do with the travel...packing; ideas for things to do/go whilst there; restaurants you want to try; etc etc.  You are a genius.

That's a great idea, and it's small enough to take with you to have all your handy references when needed
