Hello!
I've started this challenge for 2019, can I join you!? I'm trying to work backwards to put some of the biggest amounts away early on and have saved up to the 9th so have £32.49 so far
Will chop and change depending on the pennies in my purse, but looking forward to having a nice chunk of money to start 2020 in style!
My ultimate goal is a little flat of my very own so am always trying to squirrel away my pennies and it will be nice to join in with everyone else on their saving journey!

Hello! I would also love to join this challenge. I have £15 to live on until Tuesday (payday!) but I will start on the 15th with £1.20 to catch up and go from there!
I have never been able to save in my life, so £600 by the end of this year would be huge. Will probably need to look at getting a piggy bank I can only open by breaking to stick to it!!The 365 day penny challenge #32: £149.17/£667.95
