Last day if week 2. I have £5 in my wallet and £20 for tomorrow as singing lesson. 3 months ago

Week 2 of £120 cash budget.
So far so good. 3 months ago

First week of cash budget nearly over and have done ok. £120 to spend. Have 10 in purse and 20 set aside for meal with sue tomorrow. Also saved 20 for next weeks singing lesson. So will have spent 100 in a week. 3 months ago

Today went through everything I spent in December. It seems I piss money up the wall. Can’t believe how much I spend on food, eating out, and drinking. This has to be the first port of call. 4 months ago

Soooo close… 5 months ago

Soooo close… the £1 is the interest I made in a whole year! I need a higher interest account. 6 months ago

£450 to go.

I think my saving is gonna slow down now – I need spends for Portugal in 2 weeks and I’m booking a holiday for Sept/Oct. Sounds silly but I also need to start putting some aside for Xmas present buying purposes so I’m not panicking at the time. Think I will halve my efforts and save £50 a month instead of the £100 I have been doing.

Still, not far to go now :) 9 months ago

Randomly found a load of Canadian dollars while tidying my room (I went to Canada in 2007!!), and got them changed back into English pounds. I ended up getting more than what I originally used, so I could put £100 of it into my savings :) Really helped bump it up, I think I might just achieve this in less than the 6-8 months I forecast!

£600 to go! 12 months ago

I have £1150. £850 to go! I’ve estimated it will take me about 6-8 months on my current wage. 12 months ago
