Couldn't agree with you more!! You've done so well!

aPMS: Despite note to self to ebay, we just haven’t had the time, this month. However, I have still exceeded my target by an unexpected “windfall” payment from my insurance company, who, because of a mistake, have effectively given me 2 months free premiums, so that’s £60 to add to my PIN pot.
Total this month is therefore £120.01

vPMS: This week, grocery shopping bogofs/reduced items/coupons have yielded £18.56, Also raided my present drawer and card stash, which has saved us approx £3, so total October total: £63.43

All of my PIN savings mount up month on month, since Julyish, I've saved £86.80

Wow - what an inspiration!!

I'm pleased with what I have managed to save - particularly as this was my first month. I'm also pleased as I will be able to make a much better donation to the Earthquake appeal than I first thought - and miles more than if I hadn't done this at all.

Next month the pin money is being used by me to go towards my debts...

Hiya everyone

I'm kind of new here, i joined and posted a few times earlier in the year but haven't had regular internet access for months so haven't been online much.

I've been reading about the PMC and would like to give it a try, starting tomorrow, Nov 1st, until the end of the month i'm hoping to save about £30 to help towards xmas.

Just a question - i have a budget of £25 per week for my shopping/cleaning products/toiletries etc (for myself and 4yr DD), if i don't spend the whole £25, does the extra go into my PIN money?

Take care all

I don't see why not I would.

Went to Tescos tonight to get a few bits, sub total 8.92, but 2.31 of multibuys and 2.60 of coupons so total VPM for October was £50.73 (target £40)

So will stick to my target of £50 for November and see how I go - off to change my sig
