Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge 2011

Generally everyone transfers at the end of each week into a savings account mainly on a Friday but any day that suits you best. We round down the the nearest £10 or whatever you prefer there is no set amount. I think I have that right but if I am wrong I am sure someone will put you right. I have only been on here 6 months:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Happy saving.
Do whatever suits youI rounded my bank account down to a round number today with a small mortgage overpayment, but have a week to go until payday so am still contemplating if I can afford £10 tomorrow. If not, it'll be £2 or so

I've been wondering what all these VSP things were in peoples signatures - finally tracked it down!
I'd like to join in too please, if I may? Sounds like a great way to be saving some money.
If you don't spend any money in your set period, do you not transfer any money, or do you drop by £10? -- just curious as to the general idea
Hi Marksy
Welcome aboard.
I have added you to our list on page 1.
To answer your question - Its up to you, I tend to round my account down to the nearest £5 or £10. If I have not spent anything from my account then I tend not to transfer any money, but as I have said, it's up to you.
Good luck and Happy saving
