    I'm going to jump in too - won't be able to 'tidy' daily alas but my debit card rounds up spends and tidies it for me into a separate account. I also try and move over any 'bonus' money e.g. unexpected refunds, council tax on the 2 months we don't have to pay etc :) I am hoping to be better at rounding up paypal payments and spends on the other debit card too. Managed £216.20 last year without trying too hard so hoping to maybe up to £400 this year??

    Morning Peeps,
    I have just found you :smile: As I have 3 current accounts and run my sons(dont ask its a long story, he will get it back at some point) this sounds like what I do usually but there is nothing wrong in adding a little more as we are not spending as much in the current climate. I certainly think is a fab idea even if you have very little to no money. Even to get to a point of having saved even £5 can be monumentus for people. Tonights 2100hrs mission.
    Anything is better than nothing-check back and see

    A bit late to the party but I have decided to join this year.  I am in my overdraft so not touching the balances on my main bank account but I am doing this on my Monzo account which has all my personal spending money and pots.  I'm just rounding the pence out and so far this month have £9.76 which will go towards an overpayment on my CC debt.

    I've gone back and 'seeded' the pot with £22 (for average £1 a day rounding up) as well as £14 from a rough round up of spends on my other debit card, so up to £43.19. It'll get harder from now on but pleased with a good start!

    £2.13 added in last tidy.  January total now £51.57, averages out around £2.34 (I think) a day until 22nd.  Planning  a No Spend Weekend (!) and no DDs are due out until next week so that's about it for adding anything to the pot until Tuesday. 

    Have a good weekend, all.  Happy tidying.

  • Hey ppl,

    Sry, homeschooling took me away from the thread!

    New people; great! More the merrier.

    OK, so i'll collate everyone's month-end totals; you can post up on the thread or DM me; either way post which of the Daily Tidys you are doing (£1, £5 or £10) and what you've got to, anytime this weekend, or Monday if you like. 

    Thx to @Fidelia for regular posts & holding the fort 👍😊.
    We've included running total in the signature 👇 but as suggested monthly updates might b more practical for ppl.

    We'll done on savings & happy tidying 💪💪💪

  • BTW my dry Jan went out the window; Mrs I-S discovered m&s tins of Christmas double gin cocktail for 69p from £2.50, so stocked up. 
    So it was tipsy, but in a money saving sort of way 😂
    Now in overdraft so having to play it cool on the savings til Jan pay then will catch up a bit..

    IrishSean, I imagine homeschooling takes up a fair chunk of time! Though very jealous of your M&S cocktails...
    And Fidelia, hope you managed your NSW!
    I'm up to £46.25 woo! More than 10% of my hopeful total for the year :)
