    Morning Peeps,

    Hope those who are here in the background are doing well.
    @Divingmad you are doing a great job of tackling both sides of budgeting. Getting it all together is a multi faceted task. Doing a budget sheet (available here on MSE for free) which is greatly detailed took me a couple of years to get it sorted and clear in my head. All those wasted years and money, ay well, onwards and upwards.

     Doing what we do here is more prevalent than ever in these times, yet we will survive it.

    Have a good week

  • Morning Peeps,

    well it looks like we have been plunged into Autumn here today.

    Fortunately in the last couple of weeks I have had to pull my socks back up as focus had been lost. I'm back on the pennies and tidying up again. I have missed using cash so it is now back to being taken from from our account and back to being scrutinised when and where we are spending.

    Have a good week

    Hi all,
    Been a bit busy with RL stuff so have just managed to total up my last week of tidying, which comes in at £21.51.
    Not sure how my tidying will go this month as i'm away on holiday soon, but I'll do what I can.
    Take care and happy tidying

    Have a good week away for a well earned break @Divingmad

    My numbers for September were £56 which was a big one for a change moved into my ISA. This was helped with some back payment.

    I have some extra income of a smallish amount which I will  use and put some left overs(at the start of the credit) into my Tilly Tidy account. 
    Does anyone else to that? When checking an online account if there is some very small change I pinch that, do what needs to be done and then take some more at the end. 

    Have a good week peeps.

    It's the end of the week and it's total up time, which comes in at £7.72, so that's all off to the EF.
    I currently only tidy my main account which I do each evening, it has a round up facility on it too which rounds any spending up to the next pound, so I already have two tidy-ups running on it.
    Take care all

    Morning Tilly Tidiers,

    hope you have all managed  any inconveniences with the storm and you only need to tidy up outside. 
    Inside the pennies keep getting moved about into the best we can get in interest to get a little more for nothing. Does anyone ever pickup change from the floor? This may be an awful thing to some of you but I don't care what others think  :) It used to be quite frequent near a shop where we lived as the school children would visit there and throw away the coppers. Shameful really. That is society as they don't use a lot of cash. I prefer cash as I can go and do as I wish with it. It has paid off a couple of times already when the banking systems have crashed and when updates on the banks system have an impact too. Collecting loose change and converting into bigger coins and then onto notes does help to build up that cash stash/emergency fund. I love the convenience of doing my own banking and it has certainly given me more focus of making money work harder.

    Have a good week peeps
