I realised this the other day, and thought 'excellent, £200+ to go on debt' - then the household insurance reminder arrived!"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

Mine are March and April too. Mine are already earmarked for DDs week away with the school - total cost was £324 and she's not even leaving the country!0

Ours is feb and march too, we pay 100 pounds but in feb we have car mot and dd birthday so it goes towards that, hopefully there is nothing wrong with the car. March is the month we pay of the most amount off debt from our budget.We only get water bills once every 6 months every jan and july, but may be because its on meter so bills can be random, normally works out no more than 20 pounds per month so i have to remember to keep this aside.0

Our council tax non payment months are feb and march so that's £236 saved. Our water non payments months are the same so we'll save another £80. I always look forward to Feb for this reason.0

mine's counted for the overdraft. That's why i keep it on 10 months. Unfortunately water is over 12 mths0

Well, we'll save £170 each month council tax and £77 water - all probably spoken for with DS birthday/school holiday and car MOT unfortunately :rolleyes:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
