Hi All

Welcome to the Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge 2017

I ran last years thread and I think it went well so decided to keep going, its been a very successful challenge for quite a few years, so many thanks to Spam.Jam, Palema, Flat Eric, Keza and Nix143 who have run previous challenges.
Below are links to the previous threads if you wish to have a look.

VSP 2017 will start on 1st January 2017 and run till end of 30th November as many people started to use their pots for Christmas presents or bills this is open to discussion though what do others think?

I will try to update the spreadsheet as often as I can, could you put your challenge numbers in your signature so it is easier to spot any declarations.

Good luck with VSP 2017, looking forward to beating previous years targets.

Every Friday (Or whatever day is easier for you) the aim is to transfer the pounds and pence to round it down to the next nearest £5 or £10.
So if you have £36.78 in credit you will transfer £1.78 or £6.78, or £20.04 in credit you would transfer £0.04 only.

You then can either send me the total transferred for that week on the update form, and I will add each week or wait till the end of the month and submit then with a total, but could I ask you use form as well as adding your figures on here.

This is so I don't miss any updates as some challenges move quickly in posts and pages and would hate to miss any amounts.

**Some banks do not allow you to transfer less than £1, if this is the case what I tend to do is note what the money I have left that week then add it in the following weeks transfer.

For me: The 'Virtual Sealed Pot' is a savings account that is attached to my bank account which makes it easier for transfers (I transfer on payday each month) but due to the faster payment system it doesn't have to be with your bank as all funds transfer instantly or within 2 hours, being a virtual pot i find I'm less likely to take any money out as I do the transfer and forget about it till the next month.

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're most welcome and it's NEVER too late.
If you have been part of any challenges previous years and wish to keep your number or you have a lucky number you want that is fine if it's free otherwise I will assign numbers from the beginning to keep things tidy

Good luck and roll on 2017.
