    My running total is a quite frankly exciting £23.64 :D

    Ha ha ha!! [STRIKE]:p[/STRIKE]

    I just transferred my exciting £5.44 over, making an even more exciting £11.36.

    'Woo' and in fact 'hoo' !!!

    Can I join please? I joined the sealed pot challenge a couple of days ago but like the idea of this too!

    I've just moved £3.86 to get started!

    I might have to be a bit creative as I don't tend to use my debit card so don't always have odd change created in my account so if not I might move the odd £10 every now and again to keep things ticking over - hope thats ok?
    can i join please

    Hi Palema

    Can I join the 2011 challenge?

    As you can see from my signature I had enough money in my VSP £400+ to nearly cover in full the cost of my car insurance for the year.

    For my 2011 challenge, I also have a VSP associated with our joint account.

    I've been paying into both since the start of November when I emptied my 2010 VSP.

    Friday 10th December 2010
    Personal VSP received £5.83
    Joint VSP received £9.03.

    I'll update with the running totals next week, as I have some cashback money due next week too, which will be added to my Personal VSP.

    Well, the total so far #25 stands at: <insert drum roll here!> £13.98 :)

    A bit more than I'd expected to get in my first week of the challenge so happy with that - hope it continues at this rate!

    Glad to see the rest of you are all doing so well too :)
