Still saving up towards the holidays
DH received £30.01 in a mileage cheque from work so I put that towards the holiday fund.
DS1 didn't have football on Friday (cancelled) so the £3 went towards that too.
DS1 isn't at school for the next week so I don't have to pay for him to get there, so another £5 towards my hols.

Hi All,
So... I have booked a holidayNow instead of chipping on the cc as they are on 0% interest, my extra payments will be going towards clearing the holiday debt.
Bank account is OD so no rounding for me. Just going to see what I can collect from my own "spending money".
Keep going everyone!

Hi there, I have stumbled across this thread and think this is a brilliant idea and just the kick I need to get me motivated. I have "tidied up" by bank account this morning and sent £15.95 to nationwide so hope this is the first of many extra payments. Well done everyone !Sealed Pot Challenge - No: 223
