  • Hi would live to join in this going to save £2 instead of £1. Already put my first £62 in my online account. Hoping to go better than last year stopped half way due to problems.
    If you dream it can you do it????????
  • Please may I join:j?
    This will be my 3rd year and it is fab to know we will have £365 for Xmas next year, especially as we are on a really tight budget this year. Instead of buying a savings tin from Poundland this year, I have used a Cheesie Footballs tub that I have decorated and sealed.
    So far this year I have squirrelled away £31, so that's December done :A

    I did this in 2016 but didnt post. Opened my tin in December and had £485 in it. was :j so happy. I managed this by aiming to put a minimum of £30 in my tin a month. For 2017 i aiming to put minimum £40. If however it comes to payday and i have a leftover fiver or tenner will throw it into my tin then too. ;)

    Merry xmas everyone!

    I have saved £20.00 so far for this challeng - which means i'm a bit behind schedule but within easy reach of catching up !

    I have a separate sealed pot , and also a virtual sealed pot - and I'm also saving as many of the new plastic £5 as possible so I have a lot of different "pots" on the go. I wasn't sure where to keep the money for this challenge but it will be a decorated Pringles tub lol:T:T
    £10 a day extra in May '18[B]£35/310[
    Virtual Sealed Pot 2018 £500/£2500 = 20%
