It maybe easier to do on your computer - or could you put the £20 in and take out the money you have so far?
Stressed xxxHoping to stick to the challenge this year!!

So far so good. Had put in £3.00 for today and tomorrow but then found another 50p which had obviously fallen out of someone's pocket (in fact there was also 4 x 20p but they went into the 20p tin).
23rdspiral - maybe you could just make a note of how many days you've missed putting in your money and then add the appropriate amount when you break into your twenty.0 -
I have started my tin by ticking off in my diary each day I put a £1 in. Today I put £4 in so ticked up to Friday! Smiley Face! I know if I don't do this I will forget where I am up to and then be tempted to can open the tin to count it. Then the tin will be useless and GRRRRRRRRRRRDonna
Economy; careful management; providence. Whether you call it thrifty or frugality it all comes down to getting more for your money.0 -
