    Hi, I'd love to join this challenge if it's not too late but I have an account I only use in emergencies with money already in it so can't guarantee I will remember how much I start with......or should I put my balance now, and then say how much I want to add to it??????

    TIA and hope all that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^makes sense!!!

    Hi toochoosey
    Welcome aboard!
    You can do it whatever way you wish to. I found it easier for my account to start with the money that was in the account and add to it. Others find it easier to start with a target and try to get to that goal.

    Good luck

    Just had a look at my online banking and there was a perfect £4 over that was making the total look messy :rolleyes: so just had to put it in the VSP!

    Transferred £3 today from one account but my other is looking odd because of uncleared transactions so will be transferring tomorrow when it should have sorted itself out!
