Sorry not to have updated or posted since 20th March! When I signed up I I was determined that this would be one challenge I would really try to do well. Failed dismally on that!
My saving, accounting etc have been pretty shambolic this past few weeks so before this month is out I'll try to get a grip and tidy up my accounts etc.. I'll send something over to my VSP even though it isn't likely to be much. Every little helps though and I know this is a marathon challenge not a sprint.
I hope you are all safe and well and haven't gone stir-crazy yet
Take care xxx

Its individual challenge and please don't compare with others we all have our own challenges and income struggles probably even more so, this will be the first time we are all in the same boat.
Keep going

Hello!
I set up a “Save the Change” account with my bank but I kept dipping into it for inessentials. The bank also doesn’t save the change when my balance gets low, which is understandable but mildly irritating, since my nominated account is my spends account, so it’s intended to get low. Oh well.
I don’t want to overstretch myself trying to aim too high (which I’ve done before) so I’ll focus on the little pennies and keep my goal low: £250. Could I have lucky number #23 please?
I’ll be back with a starting amount later once I’ve checked what’s in my VSP and rounded down the pennies on my other accounts.
Looking forward to this challenge!My Debt Free Diary: ADHD and Frogs: How to Balance the Budget?Challenges: Virtual VSP (#23) 1,000 EF (#pending)1
