    Hi,

    As I understand it’s 1p each day from 1st January till 31st December… but that is only £3.64p..how do you get a total of £628…sorry if I am being really dim🤔

    It's not dumb to ask.
    Day 1 = 1p  Day 54= £5.40. Day 122 is £12.20 etc.
    Some people start from December as it's the highest amounts and possibly no council tax in Feb/Mar.
    Some people just empty there purse and cross off what they can. Some people divide by 12 months. Just make it your own. I like to highlight with pens when I've paid an amount off then you start to see more colour and less white paper (make sure you print off your challenge sheet ) 
    Hope this helps and good luck.
