    Please can I add my name to the challenge or am I too late? I already started to save a £1 a day part way through this year, owing to something someone said on a thread, and the money saved really helped this Christmas. I started again on 1 December for next Christmas so now have £27 saved. Didn't realise there was an offical challenge set up lol

  • I have decided I am going to transfer the money monthly, on each payday into my online saver account (which is always empty)...)
    So hopefully on New Year's Eve I will have my first £31 put away!
    Very: £965.30 (must be gone by 01/07/16)
    Personal Loan: £1902.03
    Overdrafts (split over 2 accounts): £1100
    Credit Card: £3781.61 (currently interest free)
    Mortgage: £29,410.53 (6 years, 4 months remaining)
    Bed finance: £1450 (interest free)
  • I'll also be transferring the money for the month on payday - so my first £31 is now in for Dec. Can't wait to see this build up again :beer:
  • Put £36 in an envelope i thought an envelope would be the best way for me to save the money that way i can keep a record on the envelope.
