Saving Money

Hello,

This won’t make you loads of money but I bought myself a notebook and decided to write down EVERY penny I spend each month and its surprising how less likely I’ve found myself to be buying crap, such as magazines, drinks, chocolate bars ect, when I stop and think about it and write it down and it really has been adding up and I’ve already saved £200.00 more than I expected to since christmas :D

Hope this helps someone

Well done !!! This is an ideal way to know how much money we are wasting on craps.. 8O :(

With this training, I am sure you will make a good housewife in future…. :lol:  :lol:

My gran always said: look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves 8)

Haha well you’ve never tasted my cooking!!!

I’m sick of saving!!!

Dancemonkey - thank god!! I thought i was the only one who was doing that!! my bf saw it once and just laughed at me!

managed to save half my wages every month!!

i never realised how much i spent on crap i was spending every month! saved me at least another £100!

I keep spending too much money.

I’m going to a party tomorrow and I bet I spend alot of money there too. Ffs

I’ve had no social life recently!  Trying to save as much as I can, my weekly treat is going to the cinema!
I’ve gotten into the habit of checking my bank balance every week and working out whats still got to come out, so I can work out how much I should have left.  Minimum I want to be able to put in my savings account each month is £200, anything over that and Im :D
Try to limit how much cash I take out of the account too, if I’ve got the money in my purse the opportunity to spend it on pointless stuff is too strong

I have 3 jobs and i can’t save to….......erm….....save my life!

I hate how expensive life is :(

As its for volunteer work what about a dance & auction for the slightly older generation? Think its a mum thing but my old dot loves a dance and bidding on things even if she doesn’t really want them - that way you can also go to local businesses and ask for things to rafle.
also try talking to or looking on the websites of volunteering companies - they nealry always have fundraising advice - if I can find the email address of a really helpful lady I’ll add it later.
Good luck!!

Found it ... .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) her name is Debbie Munlow, really nice and friendly and will happily give you help on fundraising etc! Might be worth you not mentioning that your already going with someone else though!
