    Well, I was about to ask to join in, but because I already put my hand up on the old thread, Ellieseven had already added me. Thank you Ellie! And I'm number 21 too which is my birthday so I'm well chuffed with that :)

    I did it on my own last year and think I'll be coming up about £100 short... Probably because I kept raiding the pot!

    I'm stupidly excited to join this challenge instead of going it alone :)

    Great to have you with us, it does make a difference having everyone spurring each other on with this challenge.

  • Hello again,

    Everyone should now have been allocated a number and I have updated targets and totals where requested.

    If I have missed anything, shout and I will make the changes:)

    Good Luck everyone, those of us who have done this challenge before know just how good it feels when we are counting up those ££'s at the end of the year and I'm sure all our new members won't be disappointed.;)

  • Thanks for adding me to the challenge. I've got a spare savings account so I will use that rather than a tin. My plan is to transfer money every payday (25th) so that I'm always slightly ahead of myself.

  • Ooh thank you for my number.
    I'm going to transfer into my deposit account and keep a spreadsheet to track the Xmas 2017 money. My Bank doesn't allow you to open accounts on-line yet and I can't face the hassle of doing it via paper. Okay any excuse for a spreadsheet! I've brought myself up to date:
