    Hi all,

    I found this part way through last year and made a mental note to join in when the new one started, however the mental note appears to have lost it's sticky and disappeared into the ether :p

    I privately tried to do this when I saw it, but it didn't work all that well as I was pretty much continually in my overdraft, but according to my calculations (famous last words...) I should be completely out of it by the end of March.

    Please can you join me up now? I'm planning on working out what it should have been and backdating it to 1st Dec so that I can keep up with you all :D

    Will post later this evening with the total.

    Thank you!

    Hi d3mon4ngel
    I'm glad you found us again :D
    Welcome aboard.
    I have added you to our list on page 1.
    Good luck and Happy saving :)

    Just finished adding it up. I'm going to be rounding from both my accounts when they are in credit, so the total so far is:
    £40.02

    Not a bad start considering I wouldn't have noticed it going :D

    I've applied for a savings account to use for this, as my other two already have their specific uses and I don't want to get myself confuddled :p so at the min it's still virtual money written on paper until I get somewhere to transfer it to.

    That money talks, I don't deny, I heard it once, it said "Goodbye"

    :j I finally got 105.00 backdated pay from work today so I've transferred that immediately to my new savings account taking my VSP total to 262.21 :)

    I am so pleased I found this challenge, it's given me real motivation to save rather than spend and I know I've had a bit of a headstart with my mazuma mobile money and now my backdated pay but it's such a change to my normal spending habits !

    £46.62 in my VSP since last post - total of £250.44 in my VSP today, I've been trying to round off to the nearest £10 every time I log onto my internet banking, plus had an amazon sale.

    However I have transferred £200 into my post office savings. The instant access savings is too readily accessible and I don't trust myself! :o I'll keep my running VSP total on here though.
