#88 reporting - put a fiver in the Roland Rat-bank and transferred £28 to cover the days I missed in Jan today which will keep me square until Weds.

Now looking at £38/£365 :money:

I have just transferred another £1.32 of change into my virtual pot giving me a total of #12 £52.23. .

I am really behind with this but I did expect it to be slow as DH has no work. The season will be starting again so can't wait to get stuck in when he gets work again. I hope to have some more cashback and swagbucks funds to transfer into my virtual pot soon. I am determined not to dip into any of this until DH gets work.

#75 £31/£334

Hi moneymanager, don't be too hard on yourself or feel intimidated by other peoples' totals. Keeping up the £50 every two months would give you £300 to spend next Xmas and it can't be over estimated how de-stressing it is to be spending real money not piling on the credit card. Its all good. :T

I know exactly where you are coming from, my OH's work is seasonal too and at this time of year. He doesn't earn anything and Jan & Feb are the most difficult months to cope with (after Christmas etc.)

This is one reason why I joined this challenge to start with to help us through those difficult months. As Triple Choc Chip says don't be intimidated or put off by other totals, you're doing great and there is a long way to go before the end of the year. I always look at it as, whatever I save is a bonus and a help towards Christmas;)
