  • Dunno what I have put in this week. I like waiting until the weekend and then counting it up. I try and have a few no spend days during each week so never get change on those days. x

    Right, front page has been updated

    We have now broken the £1k mark, collectively we have saved £1,123.69 in change!

    Its been a bit quiet on here lately so lets keep the chat up and the updates coming, we need to rally each other to save more, by the end of August i would like to see us collectively save £2000

    So a new mini challenge within this challenge is to reach, collectively, the £2000 mark in change.

    Thats 21 days people!

    i think my available change is going to slow right down now as i will from now start paying most things using my debit card like online shopping etc although i prefer to pay cash i have found i am spending far less money if i shop online. i still think i will make it to the £75 by 1st december though as i only have £26 to go:)

  • Morning all. I'm up to £4.94 since 29th July. Wish I had fewer no spend days now! I'm kind of enjoying the way my purse feels simpler and easier too. Didn't expect that as a side benefit. Thanks for this challenge, really enjoying my first one.

    Hi Jax

    How do I update you ??? I notice on front page I am showing as £20-odd when I am on £54.20 - this should give you a bit of a push to the £2k :)

    Hope everyone is OK - will be doing an update later !!

    Hi All

    If you all can just keep your signature up to date I will scour everyones signature to get their totals.

    So please just make sure your signature is completely up to date
