    Just checking in, nothing to add to my total, but I hope your Dad is ok. Family time is more important.
  • #32 checking in, I've got £7.18 in the jar so far and £5 in my Monzo round up pot (every time I buy something on my card it rounds it up to the nearest pound and puts the extra in a pot)

    Just finished a spreadsheet to track my savings and added weekly reminders to my phone to add to the penny a day challenge pot as I keep forgetting!

    Well done everyone on your progress so far!

    Hi everyone!

    #31 checking in to report a current total of £74.55! Can't believe how quickly it's mounting up. I need to catch up for yesterday but so far managing to tick off more of the big numbers and enjoying watching my total grow!

    Hope your Dad is OK, helejenkins1, and hope you are taking good care of yourself too.

    Wishing you all a happy hump day! :D xxx
