I’ll be filling the envelopes according to the cash I have available each week, topping up from the cash point if the envelope for what I have in my purse has already been used.
Each time I reach £50 I hope to bank the cash and put it into fixed savings bonds so I can’t go on a spending spree with it. I have some big travel plans in 2026, so this will pay for flights and hotels 😁MBNA 237.47/13997.47
