    Hi - May I join in this challenge?

    Not done any of these before - I've printed off the sheet and counted up my spare change that I collect in my penny/change jar.

    If I can be given a number please - I have £13.85 so far and will do whatever change I have as opposed to doing it all in order as that will be easier for me.. Thank you !!!
    £2022 in 2022  - £1042/£2022

    Hi - hope I can get a number and join you all ! I've raided penny jars, purse, pockets, and other places that loose change likes to hide :)

    I'm up to £26.30 - and will be trying to add loose change every day even if its only a few pence.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I’ve been doing this challenge since the 1st Jan and clearing off random amounts each day. Majority of my savings are going towards house deposit and fees but this is being kept separate for a holiday in 2020!

    Currently at £134.31

    As someone who struggles to save and recently bought a money ox to try save shrapnel from my purse this sounds like a great idea. Not quite sure how I'll do it starting partway through but will figure it out.
  • #20 ive still been saving im up to £400 now! ive decided as i could easily save £100 a month for the first couple of months im going to carry on saving that amount!

    so im doing a £100 a month for christmas challenge rather than the penny challenge! Good luck to you all! x
