Oooh, flippin' eck! I'd forgotten all about this challenge with everything's that's been going on.

It's payday this week so I shall start on Thursday with £10 for this week and £10 for next.

I am rather pessimistic about this idea...Good luck anyway for those who haven't started yet

kayester

I have opened a new bank account and set up 2 standing orders to it one for the £1 a day and the other standing order being the £10 a week, and I also send any extra that is in my current account over the night before payday :-)

I hope it's a savings account rather than a current account? May as we'll make some interest on it while the balance is building.

I have a saving account I call my Sweep account. Every night I check my current account balance and round it down to the nearest £10 (so if balance was £53.67 I would transfer/sweep £3.67 into the sweep account).

Its amazing how quickly the balance builds up, and I've never really missed the money yet. Of course, you could round down to the nearest £1 or £5 to suit your budget
