September Spending

 

My pear tree grew a single pear.  I haven't eaten it yet as it hasn't ripened.  Pears don't ripen on the tree so it's a waiting game to choose the right moment to eat it at it's best! 😋

September flew by!  I can't believe we're into October already.  There's 1 week of school left (HOORAY!!) then we get a 2 week break.  But my 2 week break will be filled with decorating and moving furniture between my house and the flat. Ah well, it'll be good once it's all done.

September spending was very low.  I hadn't planned to have such a low spend month but it just worked out that way.  I mentioned previously that I've spent around £100 on stuff for school and I had to get petrol for my car.  Other than food, I haven't spent money on anything else.  Total spend for the month was £316.89!  That means I can put an incredible £1114.74 into my savings!!! 🤯

So after 9 months of saving I have £9492.52 in my savings account.  I'm almost at my £10k target for the year!!  I can't believe I've managed to get this far.  I used to think I was pretty frugal before I started this 4 year challenge but I've had to seriously up my game this year!

  3. September has sped away and autumn is definitely here. Your savings are brilliant and it takes a lot of willpower to save rather than spend. Catriona

  5. That's fantastic, you should very rightly be pleased with yourself! I've instituted a no spend rule for clothes/shoes etc until next summer. I have loads of nice clothes, don't need more, and by next summer I might be a smaller size (or at least a different shape!) if I continue to exercise. As yet we haven't seen gas or electricity prices rise in my ares of the Pacific North West, US, but petrol and groceries are certainly higher in an already expensive part of the country.

    1. I've also pledged not to buy any new clothes or shoes. I have plenty of each! The price of everything has risen here thanks to our new prime minister. It's all getting rather worrying.
