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?hollysmum22 wrote: »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.0 -
