    Savings account balance growing nicely :) Thank you so much Ellie for starting this challenge, and taking the time to keep updating totals and motivating us all - you are a star :)

    My new total is £346 - amazing!

    Thank you January, I enjoy doing this challenge and it does make a real difference to Christmas. Saving little and often takes away the pressure at a stressful time of year;)
