    Morning all from #18. Another £4.66 in today bringing my total to £70.21 / £667.95
  • Hello, could I join in please?

    I started on Jan1st and have written out each amount in a notebook. Every  Sunday I’ve transferred an amount to cover the week, into a savings account. So far I’ve transferred across £ 16.75. I think I might have to mix the larger amounts and smaller amounts rather than have the biggest amounts to pay so close to Christmas!
    paydbx2025 #26 £890/£5000 . Mortgage start £148k June 23 - now £138k.
    2025 savings challenge £0/£2000
    EF £140. Savings 2 £30.00. 17

  • #36 here - another £3.27 in this week, so up to £42.05 now. I randomly got CB from a car insurance quote from last April (!) through this week, so was going to transfer that in as a bonus, but now second-guessing myself whether I need to buy anything!
