    Hi is it possible to join I've been following you and started the challenge in January I printed off the sheet and I highlight what I've put into the sealed pot as a visual  I find it motivates me.
    So far I have £145.00 approximately.
    Payday next week 😁 so I will add to the pot.

  • #21 here..going backwards I'm at £493.61. I hope you're all safe and well. 
  • hello hello I’m number 8 and I started off well but since Covid19 I’ve not been working and sick and it’s totally gone out of my head. I have the printed sheet and I know we are 182 days in from 1st Jan to 1st July and I want to put in the tin what I should have if I’d stuck to it does anyone have that figure. Usually I’d just empty my purse but this is a quick way for me to catch up and I want to draw the money out of the bank and put into a physical tin - thanks in advance x

    Been transferring quietly behind the scenes, just popping in to update :) I am currently at £462.32 and still going strong. I'm so glad I decided to go backwards (mostly anyways - I went through a rebellious "I'm gonna do random ones" phase lol)

    I am doing two of these and have started a 3rd. I don’t think it matters when you start, a year is a year.  I use the monthly figures as noted above so i figure you can start any month you like. I am currently at £225.78 x 2 and £4.96 on the third. I decided recently to save for new carpet on landing and stairs which are roughly 30 years old and so threadbare you can see the wood in places. I figure £667 should be enough!
