    Well, I've been a bit AWOL from this thread recently.

    I'm a bit gutted I think I'll have to finally withdraw all my VSP money (even though the intention was to pay for Crimbo pressies, I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it!). 2 Kindles and an iPad later, it needs to be done!!

    Will hold out until mid-December when the credit card bill is due and see if I can miraculously come up with the funds some other way!

    Oops, a whole month - where did it go? Been saving each week, so here's my catch up.

    £13.87 + £6 + £23.98 transferred = £43.85

    Pot #14 - Total is £294.63

    Have a great weekend all x

    Hi all

    #101 with another 8.25 this week, total now stands at 233.95

    This should cover my car insurance, so I'll be saving money that way.
    Just need to think what I will use the 2013 challenge money for.

    Thanks Palema for doing this challenge, it has really helped me focus and made me realise that just a little each week can make a big difference.

    #80 making my final transfer of this challenge - £5.20 so my final total for the year is £370.21.

    I will be using my VSP for holiday spending money for next year so on friday I'll be changing it all into lovely lira!

    Massive thanks to Palema for running this challenge and I'm definitely up for the next one!

    Have a lovely day

  • I don't think I've updated this thread since I started, but have been steadily adding to it throughout the year and I'm up to £183.96 (pot #92). Good luck to everyone for Friday.

    I won't sign up again for next year though as I'm on my teacher training year which has led me to seriously neglect my forum-ing, boo! :(

    Some great totals on here, a huge well done to everyone! :D
