I've been humming and hawing about this, but I've finally decided to give this a go! I'm going for Bronze please, £1007 is about my limit at the moment.Going to investigate the Lloyds thing, eBay, and put some stuff up on Amazon.....etc. Does anyone know if I can get anything for my OH? He's just sitting there doing nothing!

Freecycle him - best idea!!!
Good luck you have been added to list

The savings have to go in to a LloydsTSB savings account. I only have a current account with Lloyds not a saving account and the only 2 saving accounts they offered me when I rang about this earlier were one needing £250 to open and another needing £500 to open :-(

hi:)

i have just opened a classic account to take advantage of the 8% reg saver and also the save the change....

just been on the phone to lloyds and opened an online saver. you can open the account with any amount over a £1 but dont earn interest on balances under £250.

for the 2 months i plan on "saving the change" im not really worried about the lack of interest as i will be getting back a lovely £100 from lloydstsb:D

once the bonus promo is finished, i wont be using my debit card again:)

hope this helps someone....

You can put it into someone else's account too..... I've just registered to put it into the savings account OH has with them, since it's still my money, does that still count for this challenge?

My cleaner didn't turn up today as expected thereby saving me £25. Does this count for the challenge if I put the cash straight in the pot?

hi poppy:)

yes i think you can nominate the money to go into someone elses savings account, but if you want it paid into YOUR account then you have to have a savings account with them, hope this helps,

Yes cause it's your money that is generating the excess

Yep cause it's money you wouldn't have had - I hope you will now do your cleaning every week and save the money - it would count as a part-time job!! or of course you could give the job to one of the other challengers!!!!!



For everyone
It's quite a responsibility saying yay/nay to people's questions about whether something counts or not. I'm a bit on the generous side and if someone really disagree's with a decision you must say then we can discuss it. Jet feel free to jump in and disagree with me as well.
