  • Hi guys have just checked my banking & put in £5 to #19 making my new total £317.19 :j

    I have religiously done this every week this year apart from one week last month when things were very tight. So I think this is the last week for this years challenge is that right Palema????

    Am very happy with my total & this is the money I will be spending on xmas presents - well putting it towards xmas as I have also been saving each month for xmas for the first time ever this year :T

    definitely up for this next year so sign me up Palema (are you still happy to run the challenge for another year?) its an excellent way to save as I never miss the rounding down :T

    I agree with determined new ms and would like to sign up for next year's challenge please! This is such an easy way of saving and I could easily of had more as I didn't transfer for a good 10-12 weeks over the course of the year...

    Beat my target of £300 for this year and think I will increase the target for next year :)

    I'm going to continue anyway. I reckon I would have got £300 if I hadn't kept forgetting to transfer money in the summer!
    Final total for me: #87 £273.14

    Well, I have to say that my Virtual Sealed Pot plan kind of went by the wayside shortly after joining this last year.

    I've totally got all my accounts in order now though and have opened an account specifically for VSP and can confirm a grand total of £42.79 (#55 although username has since changed).

    Will definitely be carrying this forward to 2012 - I'm anxiously awaiting the new challenge thread (it was put up in only 5 days this time last year :D )

    Hey guys
    I am willing to run this again next year :D
    I will try my best to put the thread up Thursday am however if I cannot get my lazy bottom out of bed early it will have to wait until the evening :eek:
    If this happens it will posted early evening at the latest.

    I am glad everyone has enjoyed this challenge and I aim to continue it on for as long as people want to do it!

    I am in 2 minds as to leaving the participant list as it is even with people who have not joined in or to remove the names of those who have not been taking part this year. If I did this some people would be allocated another number for 2012 :)
