@Charlotte_88_24that's fab, especially for mid-Jan! Well done.
I'm back with some unexpected wins & extra money clearing.
PAD today: £211.84.
To savings but some of that is debt payment pots that will be paid later all being well.
Made possible by someone very kind giving me an unexpected birthday gift of £200, cashback clearing which I didn't expect to clear, usertesting payment going through and two standing orders I'd forgotten about yesterday that send £1 to the buffer fund and £1 to a holiday saving pot that is my ISA.
So £152.25 went to bills month ahead pot.
£50 to debt payments month ahead pot (is this savings? Is it debt payments, who knows! I will make sure I don't count it twice)
£1 to buffer fund.
£1 to holiday saving fund.
£6.95 to grocery fund month ahead/bulk fund.
This brings my bills month ahead fund up to 100% - now fully funded at regular monthly bills a month ahead.
The relief to not have to think about juggling next month finally again is unreal.Now to get debt minimum payments a full month ahead, and then a very basic amount of grocery budget a month ahead.
I think I MIGHT be winning.Monthly Challenges| March Grocery Challenge - £255/£330 | Make £10 a Day - £112/£310
2024 Challenges Pay-Off Debt for Christmas - £874/£6000
Savings Goals Emergency Fund - £75/£2000 | Month Ahead Bills | Month Ahead Minimum Debt Repayments
Month Ahead Grocery - £0/£30 [Month Ahead True Expenses £0/?]

Just my promised £1 PAD pilfered from my groceries budget which seems to be working well and unmissed so far. That could be because I'm on the usual post-Christmas diet so spending less on food (and drink!).
