    Hi everyone,

    Westie, can you add me again for the challenge?

    I'll set my target at £200, don't think I'm going to make it this year (I'll be posting an update for Dec in the 2022 thread) so will try again next year :smile:

    Thanks!

            Well this is actually a big deal for me.  I went BR in 2009 and struggled for years to get back to ground zero.  A bad relationship left me with shiny new debts but I've been whittling them down.  And in December 2022 I opened a savings account.  Today I put £5 in it to kick start this VSP challenge.  It may not seem a lot, but to me its HUGE.  Very happy (and proud)

                    Hi everyone, I'd like to join if that's OK? Does a roundup account work aswell, one that transfers automatically if you spend £1.99 the 1p goes over? I can also manually transfer over my "excess" at the end of the week/month as a manual round up so I'm going to give myself a target of £365, £1 a day, opening on the 31st Dec 2023 already 2 days behind haha
