£365 in 365 days...... the 2011 challenge

ejs2311

Hi,

I'd love to join this - I saw it last year but never joined. Things are tight now I can't work so it would be a great way to save towards a holiday for 2012.

Am off to open an online saver with £5 right now!

Hello everyone,

Just reporting in to say my first £31 are in the pot so that's January sorted for this challenge. :j

Can i still be added please - am really trying to up my saving game this year

Can I also be added to the list please? Have already put my £31 for the month away in an account. Fingers crossed for no big bills and having to dip into it

Thank you for adding me chickywiggle
I put £7 a week in a purse then transfer it to a saving account every few weeks - keeps temptation away!

Good luck to everyone

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.

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 GRRRRRRRRRRR

It maybe easier to do on your computer - or could you put the £20 in and take out the money you have so far?

thanks everyone for your ideas :T i still havent broken that 20 , so my jam jar is a little empty

cheers diddly - i really like the idea to tick off the days i've physically done it - then i could add the remainder elecrtonically.

i think just dumping 30 quid into an online account each month wont really help me to feel like i'm 'saving' the money.

Ohhhh, can I join too please!

Have £6 tucked away in a piggy bank so not behind! (Was going to try to put £3/week away for the pets but have managed to set up "pots" on my bank account to do this) so this would be a great alternative!

£365 in 365 for me!

Ohhh, the thought of having money for the sales next year!

Thanks

23rdspiral - use some odd threads and make some cards on ebay?? sorry thats as far as i got with thinking

I mark off on my calender everytime i put £1 in. then i knwo how far behind etc i am - ohh it feels fab when you put £10 in and can tick off 10 days.................... then realise you are still 5 days behind. :wall:
