Saving for Christmas 2020 - £1 a day challenge

🎄 Getting ready for Christmas 2020 - save £1 a day challenge 🎄

I know a few of us have enjoyed doing this challenge over the years so I thought I'd host it again this year, please let me know if someone else has already started, if not here we go

The Aim: To save a £1 a day from 1st December 2019 to 30th November 2020. How you save your £1 doesn't really matter, whether it be a £1 in a tin, an on-line account or anywhere else that suits you.

We will open our tins or have access to our accounts on 1st December 2020 and declare total amounts saved.

Then it's spend, spend, spend for Christmas 2020 on whatever you like.

You soon get into the habit of putting a £1 a day away and just think this time next year you will have a healthy chunk of money towards the expense of Christmas

If you would like to join in pop your name down and I will allocate a number for you.

Please note, I have copied some of last year's information for the beginning of this thread

Hi, I've just got back into MSE after many years away and have been looking at challenges to help me get better at saving .. can I put myself down for this challenge?

triple_choc_chip

Count me in again please! It’s the best motivator. Thanks for keeping it going kd :T

SSD92

I'd like to be part of this please

kdalwayskint

:hello: Welcome to newbies welshywoo and SSD92 and great to have you back again triple choc chip

I have set us up with a default of £366, it's a leap year next year guys, so an extra £1 to be saved

I've set email notifications so hopefully I'll be a bit more on the ball

Catch you soon

claremylove

Would love to in this again for 2020 please.

:wave: claremylove welcome to the shiny new thread

Guys, please let me know if your target amount is different, I know some of you like to save more/less depending on your individual circumstances

I can’t make up my mind on this, and I’ve given it far more thought than it deserves! Historically, I’ve never spent more than £550 so I don’t need to double up like I did for Xmas 2019 and then fail to meet target - like 2019!
I think I’ll stick for now and extend once I’ve hit it, as that will take the pressure off.

:rotfl: triple choc chip is that £550 or £366?

I think I might try for bit more this year, leaving it at £366 for the time being and see where I'm up to in a few months
