    Xmas Saver!
    Can I join please? I didn't get a number in the previous thread. I don't have a target , I just want to see how much I can save.

    I've already saved £8.32 with my save-the-change account with lloyds.
    All savings for this challenge will go towards our emergency fund.

    I’ll post weekly to keep my motivation up but submit the form monthly.

    I’ve set up my spreadsheet to calculate the weekly and monthly total so hopefully I’ll not get confused but no guarantees :rotfl:.

    I’m paying off debt and just using this challenge to drip feed money into my EF so no cheeky transfers for me yet, will have to wait until I’m debt free.

    Hi all, great to get started.
    I keep a budget spreadsheet to track my in/outgoings. I sideline the money weekly on my spreadsheet and will post weekly. But physically transfer the money monthly as my regular saver only accepts payments £25+. I've been doing it this way for a couple of months successfully.
    This week i have saved £8.45. Won't always be that high as most weeks i go for the nearest £5 rather than the £10, but i'm feeling motivated to save with the start to the new year!
    Happy potting

    Thanks for running this again Westie! I do love that weekend feeling when the bank balance is a nice round number! And then we get a nice surprise in December too!
