    Thanks Westie983 how do I do that?
    Just took out money for the week and it's left me with £3 spare so that's now in the VSP so now it's a total of £10.40 :D

  • Hi,

    Can I join too please? Seems very simple and an amount of money I'd really never miss.

    Thank you!

  • I picked out the 52 note today so £52 has gone into my VSP.

    So excited. That's the largest number out of the way :)

    I also found a daily challenge. I think you pot 1p on day 1, 2p on day 2 until you get to day 365 when you pot £3.65. When you've finished you should have £667.95 banked. It gets a little expensive towards the end with your last week costing £25.34 and your last month costing £108.50 but it's a great way to save if you can afford it.

    I've just opened a new bank with the halifax so i might try it in there once i have access to it.
