    Well, I have shoved in a little extra (is that allowed??) and I have £40 for January. Although I don't think that I am going to get as far as the end of the year as the 2 middle kids want to go to Summer Camp with their TaeKwonDo school - Thats £60 each....

    £1 in tin today.

  • Just put my £28 aside and will put it into my savings account tomorrow. So that's £59/£365 for me.

    I was planning to put the money aside daily but a lump sum at the beginning of the month seems to work better for me.

    Hope everyone is chugging along nicely with this challenge :j

    I know I'm late but please can you ADD ME Chickywiggle

    I'm hoping to do more than the £365 by putting my MS earnings & the value of any vouchers instead of it just being consumed by household expenses! I've only got £20.00 so far but I'm off to check my 'penny pot' to see if there's a few quid in there that I can add!

    (ps - Love your name - esp as DG's nickname is Chickie)
