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!
