    Spreadsheet updated.

    I cant believe on Monday it will be October, where did September go?

    Im not sure how many of you are planing to open the pot/spend savings in October, let me know so we can have a final reveal.

    I am continuing till November/December, as I am buying presents via Amazon and will use the payment in my VSP, to pay of the bill when It appears after christmas.

    What is everyone else's plan.

    We are thin on the ground this year, I wonder how many of you will still be with me on this journey next year?

  • Thanks Westie.

    I'm carrying through to December. My virtual pot is for additional food shopping at Christmas.

    I'm hoping to do the same next year.

  • Update form sent for September :-) I’ll hopefully be saving mine until December, I actually need a new cooker so depending on how much I’ve got between this and my sealed pot challenge, it may go towards that :-)
  • Hiya,

    I hope that it is ok to post. I wondered if it was possible for me to join (totally understand if not).

    If I am allowed to join I am aiming to save £35 by the 30th November as I would like to treat my family to a takeaway in Christmas Eve. I won’t bore you but it has been a tough year and my employment status has changed dramatically for health reasons and want to show my appreciation.

    I have got £3.05 so far.

    As I said before totally understand if I am to late.
