Saving for Christmas 2022 - £1 a day challenge

#2 checking in for the first time. Hope you've all had a good Christmas - now time to plan for 2022!
I've had a bumper month on Prolific - survey after survey, resulting in over £100 earned. I've also had £15 from TCB. I'm setting aside the weekly discounts I get from my Sainsbury's Smart Shop too, and 'rounding up' any expenditure on my Starling account.
As a result I think I had better double my target, to £730. So far - £125/£730 = 17%

Hello everyone. I've covered a small box in christmas wrapping paper and put £31 in for December.

Hello everyone.
Can I join please. I'm going for a total of £550, thinking £50 a month up until November.
I have just transferred my first £50.1 -
Hi. I did this challenge before and although I dropped out (I think it changed hands, as it were, at some point), have always continued to save my £31 per month into another bank account. There is still money in the bank, and I also put other bits of money in (last year my mum shared a compensation payout from our old bank with me so that went in there, and we're getting a £250 winter bonus from work this month so that'll be going in there) but I think rejoinig and having the accountability of being back in the challenge will stop me randomly dipping into it!
Look forward to receiving my new number in due course xSPCNo.18 #20 (17 £562.86 16 £678; 15 £1120.92; 14 £416.53; 13 £191.52; 12 £260.48; 11 £480.95; 10 £682.31; 9 £442.64)

Hey Everyone ~ Happy New Year 🎉
Update as often as you like, if once a month suits you that is fine, pop in whenever you can, daily, weekly it's up to you no pressure here. I pop in randomly, I need to be here more often but please know that I will allocate numbers and update totals on the first page when I come here.
Amazing start to saving so far guys 🙂 I'm behind at the moment 😐
I think I need to change my target for this year, I seemed to run out of funds early on or maybe I need to be more organised!
Christmas was a little odd this year. My new granddaughter arrived early so I've been running around and I don't feel I've had much rest, they are getting into the swing of things and are at home now. I'm glad that there's a bank holiday on Monday!
I'll catch you all again soon 🙂new challenge?£1 a day for Christmas 2024 £367 / £366 ~Got married 24/05/19 ~ Credit CardDFW Nerd #1155 ~LBM 25/2/09 ~ Debt at highest £8,037.35 ~ £05
