£365 in 365 days

Just a little lurker on this thread saying hi! Haven't read all the thread, but would like to ask a question. Is everyone putting £1 away a day or is someone doing it weekly or when they can? I don't really use cash much,only for groceries and don't really have that much money left and transfering £1 each day to another account seems a bit of a pain and I might not always be able to do that, but I like the idea...

I've transferred £4.00 today, i have £44 for the challenge as yet.

I'm also doing my own personal challenge by saving my £2 coins too.

Tirlittan,hi there,think most people seem to being doing a mixture on here..im putting away monthly.Some people do a pound a day or when they can.Some put change in,i guess the best thing to do is what is easier for you.hth

It's funny how achievable and easy this sounds, £1 a day, surely everyone can manage that...but then you think it'll be around £30 a month and my budget is just so tight...even if I want to go on one holiday, I need to find extra money from somewhere...I'll think about this one though...

Afternoon everyone :hello:

I've started my little pot today but adding £10 to start catching myself up. It's my last little bit of living money until pay day (Mon) but I got fresh fruit and veg earlier and have plenty food/petrol etc to last. So now I'm not lagging behind miserably to much lol.
Will still catch the rest up on Mon tho.

Oh, also popped in £1.20 which I saved by conning my dear Daddy into giving me a lift home from work instead of getting a bus.

tirlittan, I understand how you feel as well. We generally live off about £50-60 a week for a family of 4. That's everything after bills. So food, petrol, parking, bus fares, school trips, harid cuts etc.
So I defo understand where you're coming from :rolleyes: Mostly my £1 a day's will be from extra bits which I've done (trying to save for a family holiday next year) and I'm mainly going to have to use odd bits out of my eBay proceedings etc.

I'll need to think quickly though, otherwise there'll be lot of catching up to do...I do 'Make £10 a day', but this extra money is destined straight to CC or anything else I need I have not got the money for...
