Can I join in again this year. I have been doing it on here for a couple of years now, but dropped out of last years thread as I didn't want to take part in the spreadsheet business. I was happy enough posting my updates on here to keep track.
I did carry on the challenge on my own though running 2 pots this year and have ended up with just under £700
I'm going to have 2 pots running this year again, but in July shall be emptying one as we're off to Florida for 3 weeks. Will start it up again fresh when we get back home.
Oh and I don't start my Challenge till 1st January so no updates from me just yetPay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%0 -
Evening all
It seems strange that there are two threads saving for Xmas 2016.
I am wondering why you all didn't join the Sealed Pot Challenge which runs every year ??£10day.2014=3213/2015=3421/2016=3238/2017=2702/2018=498..APR=12.03/300

Hi Lynnejk,
This is the third year on this challenge, I and others found it a couple of years ago and it worked for us so we have just kept it going.
We try to keep this to a £1 a day or multiples of...isn't the sealed pot any amount?
