£31 transferred into my online savings account for this month's contribution. It is nice to know that next year will be stress free buying presents.

The thought of a stress free Christmas sounds great doesn't it, I'm going to save my Cashback all year too, it's my birthday in December and always seem to miss out because of Christmas.***Dont save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving***0 -
£2 transferred to my online savings account x

Whenever you are ready for me to update the total on the first page, would you let me know how much you need me to add e.g. Peony40 has deposited a full month into her savings account so I have updated her total to £31
I'm happy to do this weekly or monthly (monthly's probably easier).
I keep a tally on my signature so I know where I'm up to during the month and at the end of December I will update the sheet with £62/732
I hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Ellie, may I join again this year please? I've already put my £30 for November in for the first month towards £365.
I'm going to run this pot and my sealed one together if that's OK - so it's a pound a day, every £2 coin I get, and any odd slummy, all in together.Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:

And we're off! :j:j
DH started the pot off yesterday by popping £1 in and today I found a £2 coin :j under the sofa - cleaning does have some benefits!
So I'm now sorted until Friday
I'm going to buy another pot and start it in a June for my munchkins birthdays in 2017 (already got 2016 savings planned) Won't need As much in that pot but looking forward to planning how much and when to start it etc. Addicted much!! ::DMFW!
