Just had a look at my pound a day savings a/c... Looking really good at the mo... I do a standing order for £7 a week to it ... Don't even realise it goes ... May readjust that to £2 a day for the second half of 2016 as I bought a coffee the other day that cost over £3... What was that all about... I came out the shop feeling like I had been pick pocketed... That's what made me think of bumping up the pound a day pot... I'd rather do that than get robbed for a coffee... After all it's just a few beans , hot water and a bit of milk... Not exactly a Michelin star recipe. That'll teach me not to look at the price!.😏

Great idea! The first year I did this challenge at £1 per day and found I soon got into the habit so upped mine to £2 per day, it's like you say the cost of a cup of coffee (which you can easily make yourself).

Well done on your savings so far
