    I decided to do things a bit differently this month to avoid having to find larger sums of money to put into this challenge towards the end of the year. So this month I've put away money for each day in September. I've also been adding the odd £1 here and there, so my total so far is £178.88. Next month I'd quite like to save November's or December's amounts as they're the largest, but we'll see what the budget allows!


    Not sure yet what I am saving for, I've decided not to make that decision until January 1st 2018! Really is a fab way of saving though.

    I'm up to £29.62, having added tomorrow's and found £3.33 in the loose change jar, which is the 24th January 2018's money put in too.

    I've decided to keep adding my daily total, but also as I find spare change, to take this off the days at the end of the challenge, to bring day 365 forward a bit :j

    I'm up to £46.21 now, just paying in weekly and then when I get any spare change or unexpected cash will try and add to it. Wont be doing this too much in June as it's my daughters birthday and we are having a weekend away (first break we've had since 2013) so thinking more spending than saving will get done.....

    I've transferred £50 for June into my savings pot so now have £242. Last month I added an extra £1 a day most days, I won't be doing that this month but any spare money I have towards the end of the month can go toward the challenge.
