    I'm going to do a similar thing. Chose which week I tick off not necessarily in order and put it in my savings account. So far ...
    Week 1 £52
    Week 2 £10

    Same outcome just will read the load. Good luck

  • Where is everyone?
    Update on total so far, a little late but still. So the last two weeks have been added to the fund so the new total is £10.

    Hi all, I have been doing this from Jan 1st, I did it very successfully last year so now have a total of £21.00 for 2015, I think this is such a fab idea!

    Take care all.
  • Only just found this challenge so I'll have to try to catch up a bit if I can. Love to join in though, brilliant idea even if I can't manage the full amount for all the later weeks.

    Thank you OP, and all fellow challenges! :T

    Just come across this challenge.

    I use a Tesco Savings Account for a DD so I am going to use it for this challenge (hopefully it'll help to keep me off of the closures list!) I had £1 already in it to set it up, so I've transferred across £2 and will keep going from there. As some others have said, not sure if I'll manage the full amounts in later weeks (I also have a Regular Saver) but we'll see.

    I did this challenge in 2014 was worth while doing. The savings built up gradually. Didn't do it this year and have noticed how that extra £1300 never arrives. I am going to do the challenge again in 2016.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    I have started this challenge this year, as I saw it on facebook. I have decided to aim for £26.50 a week, as this is more manageable for me.


    I have opened a new savings account and have £20/£1378 for the first week.
    £1000 Emergency Fund #175 - £598/£1000
    PAYDBX 16 #134 - £2139.00/£6961.85
    Roadkill Rebel #22 85p
  • You always need money near Christmas - so I will do this challenge but the other way around. Week one 5/1 I saved £52 - Week 2 12/1 I saved £51 and so on down to £1.

    52/1378 (1326)
    51/1378 (1275)
    Make £2016 in 2016 70/2016 :)
    CC1: £900 CC2: £3675 O/d :£620.83 Car repairs: £280
