25 days of walking to and not spending money at work

Stats. 

So far I have walked 12 Miles in October 105 miles in total since starting this blog

I have stopped myself from spending £75 at work (£12 of which in October) on sweets and snacks I don't really need.

Thoughts.


Why is it when you are away from a keyboard, pen and paper or any means of capturing thoughts you seem to have the most coherent philosophical ramblings? Yet I sit here now, and I can barely remember a thing. That is why I enjoy walking to work, because it opens up my mind to that theoretical thought process. I may well enjoy theoretical over practical, as theory you normally end up just thinking about and practical has to be done, and I am sure we are all inherently lazy to some form of degree.

Well today I am putting 3 days into one, as day one and two were taken up by the grand kids and day three just happened to be a cheeky 12 hours shift at work. Well I say 12 hours of work, but this is where I am writing this post now and mailing it to myself to post later. As noted above I will have lots of ideas, but by the time I am sat at home and opening new blog post, my mind will go a blank.

25 days of walking to work which means I have reached a milestone, of completing over the 100 mile mark, and money wise I would have not spent £75, which I know people may scoff and think it is small fry, but a wall is made up of a collection of bricks, to lay that wall you have to put one brick down at a time. So these reports of 1 day, 2 day, 3 days etc of walking to and not spending money at work. May seem why are you going on about it, but it is me discussing the placing of each brick. It helps build the mindset, and on more than one occasion it has stopped me from slipping into spending money on snacks I really didn’t need. So it is worth it.

Does what I am going on about make sense? Will anyone ever read this? Whats the point? Lots of questions go through my mind, but then again I have lots of thoughts go through my mind as I walk from point A to point B, and I never remember them all but they are all part of the journey and help me reach a destination, my destination is to hit the goal of £50,000 and each of these bricks, whether it be £3 a day or the share scheme, it all helps reach that goal. So if no one ever sees me reaching the goal, as long as I reach it, I can easily bask in the glory of getting there all by myself.

22 days of walking to and not spending money at work

Stats. 

So far I have walked 3 Miles in October 96 miles in total since starting this blog

I have stopped myself from spending £66 at work (£3 of which in October) on sweets and snacks I don't really need.

Thoughts.

Back to work, and it's a matter of getting back in to the swing of things. 12 hour shift and I resisted the temptation, and a good walk to work with several laps of the place at break time and dinner. All very much needed as I had been very sedentary whilst off, which means the weight had crept up. Need to make a lot of #Gotober.

September 2018 in stats

93 miles walked so far in total just the 31 miles in September. But October is my first full month and it is why it is being called #Gotober.

Hope to report back at the end of October with stats that would be as good as, if not better than August and September put together.

Getting set for #Gotober

October is going to be my first full month at work. 21 days in work which should mean 21 times £3 saved a day. and at least 21 times 3 miles a day walking to work, plus anything I can do in between.

In total I have

walked 93 miles
not spent £63 at work

I started all this part way through August. and due to the holidays I have only been at work for half of September.

So lets get things going and #Gotober will be the hashtag.

Also in a weeks time should see how much selling my Dr Who items have added to the grand savings target.

Sell and save the money rather than hoard.

If I am ever going to reach my goal of saving £50,000 by the time I am 50 than there has to be sacrifices. Well is hoarding items in the garage and having sealed DVDs sit upon a shelf year after year, a sacrifice or a clear out?

So why not chuck out the chintz. (Well it worked for IKEA) and put £200 towards the total. Click this link >>> Scores on the doors to see how the total is increasing.

Below is the list of items I have put on EBAY. If they all meet their reserves then I will have £200 to put into the savings account. (I will cover the postage and ebay charges) Lets see how well I can do with this.

Each is a link to the ebay page for them

September summary of money saved

I still have the end of the month summary to do, such as the shares which I won't know until at end of play Friday I will know the latest share price, so that will be factored in to the end of the month summary.

But there are certain things which wont change there is £9 to add from the last 3 days of work (as I have no work until October) and a pound a day since starting the Supercharged 1p challenge <<< which you can find more info about at the link provided. So there have been 19 days since start to 30th September which would be £19. 

£28 in total to put away panel at the side will show totals and projections.

September walking summary so far.

62 miles in August and 31 miles in September 93 miles in total.

September has been light due to the two week holiday, I had hoped to fit some walks in when we were off, but it has been fraught so have put it on the back burner. As I am back to work on the 1st October, that is when I will get back into my stride (pardon the pun)

So for the moment I am just totalising ready for then.
