    Pay Day has arrived!!!

    So, pay day has arrived at last... and this month my savings account matures - not loads in there - but enough to pay some extra into this challenge. As well as April, I'm paying off the rest of December, and most of November - up to and including my Birthday - so on that day - my challenge is effectively complete! It will be a nice treat to myself. Yee-ha!

    Total = £255.39 / £667.95

    P.S Helen - I don't have a number yet either :(

    Payday yesterday so transferred March's amount in - am currently at £81.36. I transfer the odd amount in to the savings account I'm using for this challenge every few days to bump up the pennies. Back to update at the end of April!

    Could I join please? I need to have some savings and this seems like an achievable way of doing it. I know the thread started a while ago, and I'll be out of sync but it's a bit of motivation to which is much needed at the moment. Keep putting odds and ends in a savings account and drawing them out when the going gets tough:(... Hopefully this challenge will keep me on track :j

    I've added £21.45 to my savings account and that makes me on day 65.. My day 365 is 25th February 2018, but I would like to have this money for Christmas so may aim to add any surplus money to achieve that if I can.... Fingers crossed

    I am so far behind with this. Had lots of days with no change or just old pound coins I don't want to put in. I'm doing it old school - money in awhisky bottle. Had a quick tally up and I'm up to £80ish but have put mostly smaller amounts in. Think I'm about 20 days short. Trying to catch up by putting larger amounts in :)

    I've added today's and tomorrow's so I'm up to £23.46 now, on track but wanting to bring day 365 forward as I started so late... I have a pot of change downstairs so going to have a count of that tomorrow and add it to the total to see how much forward it moves me....
