    Happy 01st March!!!

    When I started, I used to pay in every day. The novelty wore off haha - and so I've just paid the whole of March in today. I will try and chalk off a few more days in December too if I can.

    Total = £69.41 / £667.95

    I've been transferring monies when I can since the start of this challenge, thank hj.

    So far up to £90, if possible I would like to save around £1000, but my first target is £667.95, which would be brilliant.

    Good luck to everyone

    I'm still playing catch up after missing some days. Will have to tally up and see what I've got altogether. Have been cutting back on spending so not as much change each week to put in :)
