    Just posted my completed weeks savings.

    Managed a decent save despite some issues repaying debts (apparently if you pay finance accounts early, they still take the full amount for the month - woops!). Next week might be a £5 round down whilst I wait for payday thanks to my mistakes this week, but not a bad start :)
    Debts Jan 2018: £0/£1,200 personal loan, £118.29/£605.71 CC/SC Savings Jan 2018: £450
    2018 Challenges: Save £12k in 2018 #72 - £60/£2,400, Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge #17 £15.61/£100

    Hello,

    Just updated the spreadsheet now :) I've managed somehow to pot £11.45 this week! Still cannot believe it but think it's mostly due to being the beginning of the month and I'm checking our bank account a couple of times a day when I should probably only check it one a day! Also found out our bank will do transfers of 4p lol!!!

    Will £260 be ok for a target?? Going on how I've done this week if I aim for £5 a week I think that's fair. Obviously if half way through the year I'm up or down I will re-visit it :)

    Right of to change my signature :)
    Frugal Living Challenge, Household £0/5,000 Personal £0/3,000 Starting on the 25th Jan.
    January 2018 Grocery Challenge - £42.88/280 20p Savers - £5.20p Virtual Sealed Pot No. 14 - £19.04/£260 Mortgage Overpayments - £0/£1,200 Sealed Pot No 37 :j
