:santa2:This is the saving for Christmas 2018 - A pound a day challenge:santa2:
Back by popular demand
The Aim: To save a £1 a day from 1st December 2017 to 30th November 2018. How you save your £1 doesn't really matter, whether it be a £1 in a tin, an on-line account or anywhere else that suits you.
We will open our tins or have access to our accounts on 1st December 2018 and declare out total amounts saved
Then it's spend, spend, spend for Xmas 2018 on whatever you like.
I've had great success for the last 4 years and use a sealed tin. For 2017 I saved £2 each day instead of £1 and this really does take a lot of the stress out of Christmas, also, I have a great time counting out all my £1 coins at the end.
You soon get into the habit of putting a £1 a day away and just think this time next year you will have a healthy chunk of money towards the expense of Christmas
If you would like to join in pop your name down and I will allocate a number for you.
So come on everyone, decide on where you are going to keep your pounds and let's get saving!
