Bit late for the April check in - managed £155.90 as squirrelled away what would have been the council tax. 
Well done to others for chipping away too hopefully you're all getting good weather over the weekend wherever you are!

You're doing really well, Starla, you've a healthy annual total already.  I was pleased with mine but you should be extra pleased with yours.

Hi All,

Not been on for a while as just been so busy with work (and becoming slightly obsessed with gardening websites).  I didn't finish March properly so have decided to stick March and April together so it's £7.65 so far. 

Hope you all had a lovely Easter.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying any sunshine you may be lucky enough to see.


A few little 'tidies' since I was last here, April total so far now standing at £37.98 and 2021 total now up to £304.52.

Another week done and dusted.  Managed to 'tidy' £27 07 since last update.  Monthly total now £65.05 and 2021 total to date is £331.59.

I'm not going to get rich at this rate but at least it's a painless way of saving a little.  Strange how  the daily tidying of my accounts  has become automatic now.  Not automatic as in using apps or other automatic methods, just by checking my account myself each evening and rounding things to the nearest £5/£10.

I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.  Are you OK, irishSean?  Seems ages since we last saw you on here.

Stay safe, all.

Looks like I'm the only person doing this challenge!  If there's anyone else taking part I hope your savings are mounting up and that you're all well.

I had major problems accessing my online banking this past week.  Long story but mainly dodgy internet connection, superslow broadband and laughable mobile signal.  The joys of living deep in the countryside.  Not!


Just managed to check my account and have done a tidy.  Monthly total now standing at £82.89 and year to date at £349.43.  Might be another small trickle to add before 30th, fingers crossed.

Final tidying of accounts for April.  Ended month with £98.20.  I'm hoping I can reach £100 at least one month this year but I'm not going to fiddle the amounts tidied just to reach it .   Running total for the year now stands at £364.74.  I'm loving this challenge!  Thanks again for starting it, IrishSean xxx


Have a good Bank Holiday weekend everyone.  I hope the sun shines on you for at least some of it but according to the forecast there doesn't seem much chance of that happening.

I'm still here just not posting much as still in the stage of napping where I can!! Not managed much at all this month, I seem to have bought a lot that ended up being to the whole pound oddly. April's sad total: £10.88...
Hoping you can reach £100 this month Fidelia! Let's see if I can hit £20

Hi Starla.  Every little helps as they say and £10.88 is money you didn't have saved before the challenge so well done to you.  It's annoying isn't it when anything purchased is a round figure?  I love it when things are uneven amounts!

I wonder where IrishSean's got to?

Good luck for May.

Hi Peeps,
I am still here and doing the tidying up on my accounts. I have 3. I suppose I should put some numbers together which will help a little more. I have been doing this with GD savings account over the years and it has certainly added up. It is for her future so maybe I also need to focus a little more on me too.
Stay safe

I'm still here too but very slowly plodding along. Only £12.27 to report as I keep forgetting to tidy and only do it for my Monzo account not my main account (as that's always overdrawn! 😂)
I'm just waiting for my Barclaycard payment to come out of the account then the £12.27 will be used as an overpayment.
