  • #27 here.  I forgot I signed up to the thread although I have been adding to my pot.  I'm now at £212.01. I definitely need to step it up a bit to make my target of £500 however I am due a bit of extra cash in a few weeks so that will boost the amount up.

    Hello!

    It might be a little late in the day to start saving £1 for Christmas, but I definitely need to save something!! So can I join in please??

    I think I need £41.67 per week to make £500 for 30th November  :| (should have thought about this sooner!!)

    I have added £50 to my account today, so it works out £5.36 per day  :s
