  • Morning everyone! Total of 
    £8.91 today 

    to savings.  £7 to bills ahead - this is £1 a day. (Plan is £1 a day plus any christmas and birthday money to get to regular bills /outgoings a month ahead. This doesn't include groceries or min debt payments. I have those as separate targets/pots to make it all less overwhelming, it's also easier to think of and see the breakdown that way.)

    £1.91 from save the change which goes to a savings account for irregular bills/annual bills like car insurance/pet insurance etc.  At the moment trying to get to car insurance due end of April. Last year was around £420 and I just about managed to be able to pay upfront yearly, I am dreading the increase might be faced with this year.

    Unless I get cashback/pennies /extra income/save the change - that will probably be me for the week. We'll see! 

    Hope everyone is having a good Monday. It's sunny here and my day off, so going to give up budgeting and brave the cold for a walk!
