Live on £4000 for a year - Part 2

Frugaldom

Hi Partymagic, welcome to our wacky frugalistic world of online money juggling Congratulations on ridding yourself of any debts, from now on in it is all about making budgeting FUN.

Regarding the breadmaking, I bake mine by hand and now only buy it when it's reduced to less than 30p. I can't warrant the purchase of a breadmaker as it would take too long to pay for itself and I grudge anything that uses extra electricity. Apart from that, I find kneading and punching dough quite therapeutic at times.

As for next year, this challenge will certainly still be going and I have an extra twist for that one that I won't expect everyone to incorporate.

HI,

Silly question about the bingo. Do you actually have to be in that room to claim the winnings if you win or does it matter and you will get the money anyway?

Thanks,

Marru

I have the site open and minimised and have boxes ticked saying auto dab, which means the games play without your being there. I didn't even know I had won anything and wasn't there when the numbers came up on my free ticket Someone, somewhere, said you don't even need to have the site open so long as you have claimed your tickets but I'm not wanting to try that when computer is online anyway. Good luck

Bails - _party_ :bdaycake: Happy Anniversary, we'll ditch the birthday candles and just eat the cake

JumbleBee, don't ever, ever say that again...;)

MrDT

Good going nyk! :T

I'm trying again this week, managed to buy some tickets today at least

I could be added to the 'how not to make a meatloaf' club, it was more like a hash than a loaf yesterday but a day in the fridge has done wonders sliceable, microwavable, sandwich fillable, and err, delicousabable

For all you curious critters, there's no secret in next year's plan - I want to attempt complete money neutrality, which means discounting any regular income, such as wages from employment or existing contracts. Rather than say I have 4k on which to live, I'll have whatever I have left over from this year (if anything) plus whatever is in my interest beater account. From thereonin, I need to earn it before I can spend it. :eek: That's the plan, anyway, in preparation for my future financially self-sufficient frugal lifestyle in the frugal fixy-up. :rotfl:
