Hi and welcome to the board, you are very welcome to join us in Tilly Tidying.
It's amazing how those small amounts tidied up soon become a nice sum 😀

I just wanted to say that I think this is a really worthwhile habit.
I've been faithfully rounding down to the nearest ten pounds and moving it into my emergency fund savings account.
It's so simple and you would never miss the money but it builds up really quickly! I'll post my total for May at the end of the month.Jan 2022
Owed approx 70,000 in consumer debt
Dec 2024/August 2025
Loan 1 4750/0
Loan 2 10690/0
Card 1 10764/7578
Card 2 5674/4230
Card 3 5158/0
Total 37036/11803
Emergency Fund 0/2000
2022 Over 70k debt. Time to change!
2022-25 Paying off debt.
2025 Cash lump sum used to pay down debt quicker than hoped.
2025+???? Stay happy and in control of my finances1 -
@Prodigal50 Yep! its exactly that. Small bit that would otherwise just be ignored. The skill (habit) is to make our money work for us and not us be the slave to it. It is a skill that is not encouraged and the "marketing of debt/life style" does not want us to be educated about us being able to manage OUR money. I wish I had learnt this skill earlier in my life instead of living in debt.
Well done on your achievement so far
