Well done on the train tickets. I still don’t understand the dice challenge.

It’s a budget with Ira challenge and saves £4.5k altogether. A set of dice that has a 4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, 10 sided, 12 sided, 20 sided and a percentage dice numbered 00 to 90. Each dice has a corresponding envelope and tracker. 

I roll all the dice every Wednesday and save the amount I’ve rolled. 

Hope that explains it. It gets a bit angsty at the end of the month as you don’t know what you’re going to roll.

Anything that helps you save is worthwhile. I must look Ira up out of curiosity.

Looks like a good idea if you actually have that much money to save...lol. I'll have to stick to my snall savings until I've paid all the debts...lol

I know I am in a fortunate position to be able to save this much and I will never take that for granted.  I am doing all the challenges at once as I bought the set but if I had lower income I could still use the 4 sided dice (or whichever) where the max I would add each week would be £4.

Good morning guys, the weather has broken and we have heavy rain this morning, the forecast says it will thunder this afternoon too, which means I have NOT washed my hair this morning (benefits of working from home)

So, today is the 1st of August, where on earth is this year disappearing to? It means it's direct debit day, so my PAD which includes the mortgage is £1014 - I have no idea how it ended up at a rounded figure but it pleases my OCD.  It's also interest day for the savings accounts, and therefore an additional £34.28 has gone into the savings/sinking pots, not too bad really. 

Today will be another NSD for me, not doing bad this week. Next week I have a family birthday so there will be a few spendy days then. 

That's all from me
Have good days, despite the weather
