    Love the gold binder looks so classy. Your set up is always so pretty 😍 Well done on the no spends. I don’t like putting £1s in as I use them instead of breaking notes. Fab video 💚

    Well done on all those no spends and having a great amount leftover 👍🏻🎉. I am glad the steroid spray is helping some 💚. That might be a good idea about the gold rush/50p challenges to help not having to break notes in your purse. The Sparks of Joy challenge is lovely 😍. Adding to your Christmas binder must feel so good (especially in January) 💚. I love your a5 house move binder and envelopes 😍. You have everything covered 👍🏻👍🏻. You are doing brilliant Hayley 💚💚xxx

    • @scottishmamabudgets
      @scottishmamabudgets  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Michelle ☺️ it’s definitely helping! I’m torn, feel I’d be better banking the £50 in change and putting it into Iris and just doing a count up and bagging soon as stuff is ready?
      It feels incredible saying for Xmas in January! I hope it’s a good omen of how well end the year!
      The A5 binder is definitely helping me visualise and I want to see them all filled 🧡 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment like always 🧡🧡🧡

    Hi what I have done is I got a smaller penny challenge which is for £50. Pounds and when I've fill it up I change it for notes and them I made my own £1000 pound challenge folder similar to iris budget and then I put it in there as I'm on a small budget, but saying that I did it twice so now I have my £1000 emergancy funds now and I bought a new laptop for us as my other one died. And a tool box thing for my husband. Budgeting has change the way I look at money. Before it would just have all gone on a credit card. Great videos keep them coming x

    • @scottishmamabudgets
      @scottishmamabudgets  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that’s what I’m gonna do, anything 50p and under in the 100 penny challenge that comes to £55 and just switch it out for notes.
      Absolutely agree, cash stuffing has transformed my relationship with money. Best decision ever! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment xx

  • @Hann_Budgets
    @Hann_Budgets 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, well done with your no spend day! At the minute I'm just using the penny Savings for my change, as I don't like breaking notes so mostly keep the £1 coins for little bits and bobs xx

    • @scottishmamabudgets
      @scottishmamabudgets  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! I think that’s what I might switch to aswell, and condense some envelope so out date night and social together - as quite frankly with having 3 kids I don’t do enough to either to warrant them having their own envelopes 🙈 does that make sense? xx

    • @Hann_Budgets
      @Hann_Budgets 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Scottish Mama Budgets yes that definitely makes sense. I currently only have 1 binder of envelopes and have condensed categories together just because otherwise it feels like the budget is stretched so thin& some just don't get used xx

    Try selling your old blinds on Facebook market place, especially if you have a local estate group as they'll have the same size windows 😉even if you get just a pound or two it's still better in your pocket than in the skip x

    Finish your gold rush as your so close to finishing it, pause your 50p challenge and focus on penny challenge I find having more than 1 'change' challenge going at the same time is spreading yourself abit thin and end up getting disheartened unless your willing to put notes towards it xx

      Maybe that’ll be for the best! I have to go to the postie tomorrow so feel torn, I think I’ll sleep on it but regardless I’ll still definitely be using the 100 penny for sure for smaller change 🧡 don’t feel willing to put notes towards it, but maybe I’ll get desperate 🤣🤣 xx

    That’s crazy regarding the flooring getting ripped out whether it’s in good condition or not. Seems wasteful. I get wanting to have it to your own tastes but this seems to put pressure on timing.
    I’m sure you’ve probably already looked into it but I think Ikea’s bunk bed (kura I believe) allows for a floor bed at the bottom. Looks pretty cool ☺️
    As for your coin challenges I think just do what you need to do to stay motivated. If that means make the penny challenge move faster then go for it ☺️. x

    • @scottishmamabudgets
      @scottishmamabudgets  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Isn’t it? I knew someone who had laid brand new laminate and carpet 4 months before moving out (obviously didn’t know) and they ripped it all up. She had even asked them to leave it in for the next tenants as it was so new and they told her either they would rip it out, or she could and take it with her!
      I haven’t seen the ikea bunk bed, I’ll have a look! I had my eye on the ikea hemnes day bed with the firm mattress set for Mia, single for her but can be a double when she cousins want a sleepover! ☺️ and the price for the bed and the mattress is still really good xx

    I've no advice on how you should or shouldn't do your challenges, just do whatever feels right for you. As for your personal spends, don't reallocate them if you don't spend (unless it's for debt/emergency fund), keep it saved up incase through the year you want a more expensive treat for yourself. X

      @scottishmamabudgets  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! The save 100 envelope challenge is for me and the 50 challenge in self care, which I already feel a little selfish about. I might consider a personal envelope in the future when they are both complete and maybe put half of whatever my spending is away in it that’s left? xx

      Crazy isn’t it? It’s such a waste. If the floor and blinds are in great condition you’d think they’d at least ask who was viewing if they wanted them to stay or not. It would save a lot of money xx
