    Morning Peeps,

    just thought I'd pop in. I've definitely slowed down with the tilly tidy at the mo as not much spending going on or moving money around. This is real life of the ups and downs we all go through. Having money and not having money. Hence my user name. 
    We all have our own stories behind pseudonyms. Just moved 4.20 so total this month 10.33. This will likely be the norm in about 3 months when my wages stop. Will be on a very tightly controlled budget and these pennies will need to work even harder. 

    Enjoy the good weather we are getting in dribs and drabs.

    Morning all,
    End of the week total comes to £24.26.
    I expect next weeks tidy up total to be a lot lower, I have met the spend targets for my current account so will switch spending to my secondary account that gives cash back and auto roundups into a separate fund which I can't access day to day, however, i will tidy what i can.

    Been having no spend days here so there is no changes in my account which gets used for spending.

    The bill account does not get touched nor does it accrue any pittance of being in credit. It is ticking along nicely without us having to add to it. I may in a couple of months when I've finished work (pre retirement) I will look at moving a good chunk to earn some interest to help pay itself.
