Here's the challenge - £365 in 365 days.

The aim: to put in £1 in a day from 1st January 2011- empty it on 31st December 2011 and spend spend spend in January 2012 sales.

People are attempting this in many ways - feel free to take your pick or create your own:
Put £1/ £2/ £5/ £10 at intervals into a money box.
Transfer £1/ £2/ £5/ £10 at intervals into an online savings account.

You CAN include any extra money you wish as you go along.

You can choose to end earlier if you wish to use the money for Christmas.
