    Can I join please? With everything life has thrown at me over the last few months it's really shown me that I need some sort of savings for Christmas (and in general). Thank you.

    Welcome! Cybertortoise your number is 38

    I'm off the starting line with my first £6. I will add the remaining balance from this year too, but not until January so I look forward to a New Year boost. :)

    I've just put £3 aside to start this year's challenge - not sure yet where to keep the funds for this as I have a sealed pot as well (and also a virtual sealed pot account) but I want to keep this separate so I can keep track. Last year I collected some vouchers as well so I think it may well end up being a combination of cash and vouchers this year too!
    £10 a day extra in May '18[B]£35/310[
    Virtual Sealed Pot 2018 £500/£2500 = 20%

    Oooohhh,this looks fun.Can I join?
    I take part in the Sealed pot challenge,but I don't really think the three tins I use for that is enough.I need an excuse to start another tin :rotfl:.
    At this stage I will aim for £1 a day,but it would be great to chuck in a bit more when I can.
    Thank you Ellieseleven.
