Thank you Lomcevak. Have now added signature to help with keeping on track. Have spent day thinking of all the ways I can source money for OP and reading through various forums and threads. Sources include:
Interest made on any savings - transferred £24.93 into OP holding account today:j
Quidco and any other cashback (got £70 pending from plus net)
eBay/Amazon sales
£2 coins - got 1 today:j
Saving 5p, 2p and 1p in piggy bank
Roadkill money - found £1 today in locker at gym:rotfl:
Proceeds from selling my hens eggs at work
Cash sales on local Facebook selling page - sold some kids books for £10 today:j

So £37.93 today with very little effort. :j

Ali-OK

Please may I join too?

My target is a stretching £12,991 - to get to £99,999 this year on my I/O mortgage

Have started with £1,365 paid this month

Thanks too for running it and the energy here is very motivating

Jb you're off and running. Have a think about tidying your current account everyday, those few pence really add up over the year. I average £20 per month.

shangaijimmy, I know I'm being thick, but what do you mean by account tidying?

It means rounding up your account. For example if you had £11.24 in your account you would put £1.24 into a separate savings account. Some people put in the odd amount up to £10, some do more or less. I do it to £10. Hope this makes sense. It really does add up quickly and you don't miss the odd pennies coming out of your account.

I do it every morning to the nearest pound. If it's already tidy as nothing spent the day before then I tidy a whole pond as a reward.

Back from my holidays and would love to join again - thanks so much for running this challenge Lomcevak.

I'd like to keep #123 if possible please, and will set a target of £24,000 for the year.

Good luck all!

purplevamp and shangaijimmy, thanks for that. I might have to start giving that a go.
