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!0 -
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:jI shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.0 -
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.

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!:heartsmil Stay-at-home-mummy of two, pinching the pennies but loving it! :heartsmilSpreadsheeter, piggybanker, envelope-system user!
