    Hi all :D

    Quick update from me - I mark off the days I have put money in my Xmas pot (and also my munchkins birthday pot) on my calander. Thanks to a £25 lottery win I am into date as of Friday 29/1- which by my calculation is £54 :j

    Have a good weekend

    Hi

    Can I please join in? I've already been putting £1 coins in a pot but didn't realise there was a challenge around to spur me on. I have 51 x £1 coins in my jar and will make sure I get a few in change at the shops later today to bring me up to date with the challenge :)

    I've opened a savings account online today just for this challenge :)

    I am going to take my fund so far and bank it in the account tomorrow and then will collect £1 coins each month and bank them at the end of the month. That way I won't be worrying about me, or DH, dipping into the pot and the savings will be safe :)
