    Hello!

    I've just finished this challenge (backwards) for 2019 (and now have to hack into 3 sealed tins to get it in the bank!) Please could I join in for 2020? As it's a leap year, I'm aware I'm going to have to find an additional £3.66 but hopefully I can scrape it together! I think I'm going to do the challenge virtually this coming year, save having to find all the right change! And backwards again, which won't be easy in January but will be appreciated come December!

    Looking forward to saving together again in 2020! :D xxx

    PS - I'll make an effort to post more in 2020 too!

    Oh can I join in please? I've started already and hope to be finished by early December so I can use the money for next Christmas. I have a spreadsheet set up and just tick off the amounts randomly depending on what's left in my purse at the end of the day.

    Welcome guys - please see the second post for your Challenge numbers!

    I'm putting as much by now as I can - I also want to try and get the higher amounts out of the way. So far I've done £3.59 up to £3.65 so that's a strong start before Jan is upon us!

    Personally I've not yet printed off the spreadsheet as I'm waiting for the MSE branded one, I will let you guys know when it's ready!

    Hello, everyone!

    So today I somehow got a total of 2,362 coins down to the free coin counting machine and banked 2019's £667.95! (Thank you to Mummy T for helping me!) And that has confirmed that my plan to do this challenge virtually in 2020 is absolutely the right decision! So I've got an e-savings account set up and on Wednesday I will make the first deposit of £3.66 and start my new journey!

    Hope you're all gearing up for a great challenge! I see some of us already have plans for what the money will go towards but would love to hear everyone's stories! xxx

    Added new joiners, welcome!

    CazzieLT what an amazing feeling it must have been to bank last years coins! So excited for that feeling this year!
