Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge 2012

  • Good morning everyone....hope you are all doing well.

    Good news for me....DH is back to work this week!!! :j
    So that means more potting into my VSP account. I know I am only meant to be rounding down to the nearest £10 but we have decided to save DH's weekly pension payment towards our winter savings (for when he is back out of work again). So it is virtual so I am going to be including it in my VSP pot. Hope you all don't mind me bending the rules a bit.

    So with that #164 has transferred £47.85 in to the VSP bringing my total to £64.20. Can I also change my target to £2,000?

    Thanks
    Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
    Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
    Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
    Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%

    Happy Friday everyone. #132 transferred £5.75 today so total now £55.22. How quickly and painlessly to get into the fifties. This is such a great idea, wish I had started earlier.

  • Morning All,

    I have just popped a touch over £4 into my pot for #36, taking my total to £49.50

    Need to find a way to put more in but then again as we're saving to hopefully move house soon the focus has been on the main account.

    Happy weekend you lovely people!! :j
    How long til pay day? :eek:
