    Good afternoon.

    Right, honesty time. Long story short, I have been feeling a bit under the weather and as a result we have ended up using our xmas pot as a little "treat box". Basically, we pretty much emptied it.
    :embarasse

    We have reviewed everything and the plan is now to pay in £40 each a month instead of £1 each a day.
    March's money has been added and we have £131 currently in the pot.
    By the 1st December, we should have £771 according to the calculator so fingers crossed.

    Hope it is okay to still carry on with the challenge even though we are not strictly following the rules so much.
    Hugs to everyone.
    Mortgage: £0/£80,329.91
    Savings: £0/£6400

    Hello Stewby,

    I did wonder where you had disappeared too;)

    No problem at all for me if you want to pay into your pot monthly (I know some do). It's whatever suits you:cool:

    I have updated your total with your new figure.
