  • I did £3.65 today as that's what was left in my purse after I cleaned everything out and popped some change in my sealed pot for that challenge. It's all going in the same pot for now, but at least I can keep track of this one and keep the totals separate. It's a short week, so the rest might be small deposits but I'll get as many of the bigger ones done when I'm a bit less skint.
  • i have saved £7.29 x
  • Number 9 here. Dowloaded the spreadsheet it's brilliant. I've started and put it in my signature. Such a good challenge if you are struggling with debt and have no stable income like myself.

    Hi. Please may I join ?

    I did this last year and managed to complete it twice. I did this by leaving the car at home and walking at weekends, putting into the tin what I would have spent on petrol. Taking lunches to work etc etc.

    Having the spreadsheet print out and marking off each time I put in really helped keep me focussed.

    Thanks
