Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge 2016

Hi All

Welcome to the Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge 2016 -

I joined this challenge last year and did quite well till I had to buy new glasses then it wiped out my pot but I returned and managed to make my target. (Yay go me)

Been lots of posts on the 2015 thread asking about a 2016 one so here it is

Many thanks to Spam.Jam, Palema, Flat Eric, Keza and Nix143 who have run previous challenges. Below are links to the previous threads if you wish to have a look.

VSP 2016 will start on 1st January 2016 and run till end of 30th November as many people stopped updating last years thread by this time and started to use their pots for Christmas presents or bills this is open to discussion though what do others think?

I will try to do a update at the end of each month, please could you put your challenge numbers in your signature so it is easier to spot any declarations.

Good luck with VSP 2016, looking forward to beating previous years targets.

This challenge is simple,

Every Friday (Or whatever day is easier for you) the aim is to transfer the pounds and pence to round it down to the next nearest £5 or £10. So if you have £36.78 in credit you will transfer £1.78 or £6.78, or £20.04 in credit you would transfer £0.04 only.

You then can either send me the total transferred for that week on the update form, and I will add each week or wait till the end of the month and submit then with a total, but could I ask you use form as well as adding your figures on here.

This is so I don't miss any updates as some challenges move quickly in posts and pages and would hate to miss any amounts.

**Some banks do not allow you to transfer less than £1, if this is the case what I tend to do is note what the money I have left that week then add it in the following weeks transfer.

For me: The 'Virtual Sealed Pot' is a savings account that is attached to my bank account which makes it easier for transfers (I transfer on payday each month) but due to the faster payment system it doesn't have to be with your bank as all funds transfer instantly or within 2 hours, being a virtual pot i find I'm less likely to take any money out as I do the transfer and forget about it till the next month.

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're most welcome and it's NEVER too late. If you have been part of any challenges previous years and wish to keep your number or you have a lucky number you want that is fine if it's free otherwise I will assign numbers from the beginning to keep things tidy

Please be patient when asking to join, I am not online every day so it may be a day or two before you are added to the list and assigned a number.

Good luck and roll on 2016.

Can I please join in?

DreamerHelen · 22 December 2015 at 5:13PM

I would be too Westie....but this Year has been awful finance-wise....so I had to give up this Year and thought I'd get a head-start on next Year when hopefully it will be a better Year financially

Thanks for my Number hun.....
