  • Hi I would love to join this group plz? Have already started the sealed pot challenge for all my change, but would love to start saving the odd bits of money I have left each week in my current account into my savings account. Im sure it will soon build up!

    Ive decided that every Sunday I am going to transfer whatever I have left in my current account into my savings account. Does it matter that I have a different day to Friday?

    Hi DFALI
    Transfer on whatever day is easiest for you - You will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the little pennies add up!
    I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as others do on here :D
