Hi everyone I've been trying this out to see if I can keep it up without worrying about being too stretched!! Surprising I have find it really easy I'm not able to do the £10 . So I'm trying either pence's or the pounds depending on what's in my account.  

I've had a fair few n.s days too. Working my way through my freezers. Hope everyone who is homeschooling are coping well.

Hi, berries. Like you I'm finding it easy to save this way.  I wish I'd discovered something like it sooner.
I was trying for the £5 a day but even that is proving impossible a lot of the time.  I think the best way is to just save what we can and not get too worried if we don't hit any targets we set.  After all, anything saved is good and being flexible about what we can manage to save makes us more likely to stick to our 'tidying'.  I've tried all sorts of saving ideas in the past, failed to hit the rigid targets I set and just gave up altogether.  Not this time, though.  I'm in for the long-haul!
Good luck

Good luck, everyone.

Sticking with my Jan total of £266.70. Definintely over half of that has come from refunds...I'm still hoping to manage in to triple figures next month but it will be first month of maternity pay so there's much less income to tidy!! (Also when baby appears it might be just a bit of a distraction )

Definitely true!  With 4 babies in  5 years (the last 2 are twins so only 3 pregnancies) who are now adults I can definitely vouch for them being a big distraction and for the need of something to distract me from them on more occasions than I like to admit to;) .

Good luck with it all.

First February tidy after a lot of my monthly debits have been paid on 1st.  My months seem to be front-loaded for account activity so the £13.63 I tidied last night is very likely the biggest individual tidy I'll make all month.

Have a good saving month, all.

A little £3.18 transferred today.  Feb total now £16.81

Starla

Another refund (only waiting on one more!) and two auto-roundings of debit card spending, £31.29 tidied away so far for Feb.
