Hello :hello: Sorry, I haven't been sweeping for a while. DH had a *big* birthday so all spare pounds and pennies were all accounted for. Another 10 years until his next big birthday....
So, I've at least managed to sweep £2.36 this week. Current total is £98.83. :j :j Hopefully next week I'll break the £100 barrier. THAT would be very satisfying.Sealed Pot Challenge #021 #8 975.71 #9 £881.44 #10 £961.13 #11 £782.13 #12 £741.83 #13 £2135.22 #14 £895.53 #15 £1240.40 #16 £1805.87 #17 £1820.01 declared0 -
Hi all, I've just made it possible to join in by opening a savings a/c with the same bank as my online current a/c. Made my first transfer of 0.83 today:j
I'm starting slowly as I don't know what I'll use this for yet- short term or long term??? Haven't set a target yet but will be thinking.....
But at least the facility is now there:beer: Happy saving all!!£10 a day extra in May '18[B]£35/310[

A new pair of glasses has cleared me out of money in this account, so I'm back down to 0.00,
Have decided to pull out of this challenge and focus on the other challenges,

I'm out too - dipping into the pot too frequently to really class it as savings. Good luck x0

Welcome!
You choose what you want to round your bank balance down to. Do if it's down to the nearest £5 then, yes! Although if your bank doesn't let you transfer less than a pound you might need to wait another week, or perhaps add on a fiver!
I round down to the nearest £10, ideally on a Friday. I really like that nice rounded number as my bank balance fof the weekend!
I started in February I think and I'm up to £262.04 - which is £262.04 I wouldn't have saved otherwise!Declutter our home in 2024
