Broken one of my own rules today but it is new years eve - ordered a takeaway for Trev and I. Alot cheaper than it would have been for a night out on New Years Eve.

Decided I'm gonna start today as I'm actually really missing it! So I will start today (the 28th of January) which at £15 a day should add £60 on to the total.
I will put all of the savings into a jar - I will only take out money for Driving lessons, kids pocket money, family treats. Absolutely NO food or daily living expenses. I will also keep a record of everything I do take money out of the savings for.
Good start!

Only made that because trev did the shopping today!! Been a bad day, spent a long time on housework with the family and decided to reward them with a mcdonalds (partly so we didn't make any more washing up!) £33 later I realise this is perhaps not the best way to save £10 a day!
On a positive note, I have now sold 2 books on Amazon, haven't got the money yet but at least I know it's coming.

Oh and I've delivered some leaflets for babysitting- so fingers crossed.
