    Good evening everyone.
    :)

    So, here we are back at the beginning of another month... £93 has been added into the holiday pot.
    OH is going to add his £93 tomorrow which should bring us up to our goal.
    :D

    Little addition we are doing is the "fine" system so if we remove any money from the pot, then we have to replace it PLUS an extra fiver as punishment.

    I am not sure how we got the pence but our current total is: £342.40
    :j

    Hope everyone is getting on well too. I can smell that new york air already.
    Hugs.

  • Can I join you please I started this challenge at the beginning of January I'm also a bit worried about finding the money for the last two months so am trying to keep a few weeks ahead.
    I'm determined to do this, I so want to see what £1378 in cash looks like in my hand.
    Good luck guys and gals we can do this.
