jo that is really good news - such a big saving!
I hope you are going to put that money away so that you can do something useful with it!
As mentioned above, I start a new job on 6th May. I will be working in the city centre so surrounded by eating opportunities......
I have decided I am going to allow myself to take £10 cash out of the bank on my way in on a Monday.......whatever I have left at the end of the week goes into my ISA which is at the bank next door to the office.
Obviously, if I don't take my lunches in with me, then my £10 will be gone before the middle of the week, so I have every incentive to keep going with this challenge.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.
