    Hi All

    Another £1.51 for me, bringing the total to £61.10 so far.

    Would have been more but there is a mysterious £3 credit in my account that I am going to have to look into further. When I find out what it is, if it is mine to keep, I will add that to my pot too, but had better wait to see whether it is mine or not.

    Have a great weekend all :D
    Debt Free since Nov 11 (ish) (except the £118000 mortgage :o) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

  • :j I'm so pleased to say I have transfered 143.15 to my vsp today taking my new total to 532.68 (vsp number 92). This consists of 125.19 from ebay sales :D, 7.96 to take my bank account to a round number and the weekly tenner I decided I have to save. I am trying to get hubby to contribute a tenner on a weekly basis but he said he's going to do his own thing :(

    I am so pleased I found this challenge as it's given me the motivation to save, thank you :T

  • Haven't posted for a couple of weeks as last week I needed to transfer £10 from my VSP to keep my account out of the overdraft. I've been paid now though so I've transferred £18.48 (£10 I owed plus the odd £8.48) which means I have £39.90 in the pot :j
