    HI,

    I'd like to join this challenge, though the way I approach it is slightly different.

    I put aside roughly 10% of my weekly salary into a savings account each week. As a supply teacher, I don't do my 'main' job in the holidays, so need to make sure I have enough put aside to cover everything that needs covering!

    I know it isn't the same, as I'm not rounding down my account, but it is important for me to do this.

    Is it ok if I join in? Since January I have put aside £140... My aim is at least £140 a month, but more if work allows.

    Thanks. :)

    o my goodness, a supply teacher, does that mean we get detention if we are naughty? welcome aboard, you are #048 and best of luck xx:cool:

    Oh and my O2 cheque finally arrived - looking forward to it clearing as that'll be £150 towards the debt!
