    I have failed this challenge so far...I'm back at 0 :( I could cry.


    You've not failed, there is plenty of time to start again:o


    You have had a setback that is all, if you start again now you will still have over £200 at £1 a day.


    Keep going;)

    Morning everyone,


    Sorry I have been missing for a few days but work gets in the way of life sometimes;)


    Anyway, some fantastic totals from everyone and I have updated our totals.


    Take heart anyone who is struggling to keep up, whatever you save will be an achievement at the end of the year. If you hit a bump and can't put anything away for a while or you have to use your savings for an emergency, don't worry, just start again...and if you have used it for an emergency, it has done it's job anyway and helped you to pay a bill or something that otherwise you would have been stressing about;)


    Take care
    Ellie xx

    Hi Ellie
    Just put £50 in my pot so think that brings me to £176.
    Surprised I have not dipped into it yet.
    I am still trying to save small change and the odd Tesco saving stamp if I am in.
    Thank you.
