    Hi everyone,

    Another £100 banked so up to date until end of Feb. for me. :)
  • Morning all

    I have been having a good think about this challenge and I really want to stay in but my work have just agreed for me to go back to work part time after my maternity leave :D which means there is no way ill be able to save the bigger weeks. So I'm going to go up to week 26 then down again to 1.

    Hope this is ok and I'm allowed to stay. :D

  • Hi all, need to look at my savings and see how much I've put away so far. Think I'll probably end up doing 1 month of higher saving then 1 month of the lower one.

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm #37 and just dipping in to give a quick update.

    I'm doing this in reverse and at week 6. Today's payment was £47.00 and I now total £297.00:j

    I love the fact that the tougher weekly saving over January with higher amounts is over and it should now (in theory) get easier as the weekly amounts decrease.

    I opened a Tesco savings account, one recommended by MSE, and am getting 1.5% interest. Perhaps not great but "every little counts"..

    Keep going everyone :T
  • Hey everyone, i am pulling out, i have decided to concentrate on paying the debts first, blooming annoying as the hardest month was done :mad: will rejoin hopefully next year, thanks admin for all your hard work

    ETA forgot to put i am #24
