'Virtual sealed pot' Challenge until Dec 1st 2009

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:Proud to be dealing with my debts Nerd #992 LBM 30.06.08 Debt [strike]£3292[/strike] £1646 (50% paid, all interest free) Sealed pot member #434 £65.09 & Virtual sealed pot member #001 £82.07+£33.04+£112.83=£227.94 Gave up smoking 30.01.09 DfDay 01.12.09
