    Please can you add me? January 1st to December 31st. I'll be using a random number generator to pick random numbers between 1 and 365 each day and storing the money in a high interest easy access account, so I end up with more than the £667.95 at the end of the year when the interest is added each month. I'll report my amounts at the end of each month. Good luck everyone!!

    Happy new year.  I found a penny down the sofa as I was tidying up before going to bed.  So that is Jan 1 sorted (not a formal report back ES) 
    Good start @mark55man :)  Are you intending to report at the end of each month?  I assume you are going forward starting with January?

    Wow, I'm very late to the party, look at you all here already! Thank you enthusiasticsaver for starting a thread for this challenge for 2023 - please may I join again? xxx
    Lovely to see so many savers from previous years.  I am afraid number 13 has already gone so you are number 53.
    Please can I join, a first timer! Would like to save for Christmas 2023.
    I am finding it difficult to navigate the site…couldn’t find how to post a message so have put comment on here…sorry.
    Thank you.

    That is fine @Anna_v .  I have allocated 54 to you.  Sorry you having problems navigating the site.  Any questions just ask.

    Hi, can I join in please? Sounds like a great way to save that might actually be possible for me :-) Will look out a jar later and save the old-fashioned way.
    Welcome and yes you can save any way which works for you.  I have allocated you the number 56 just to help me when you report monthly or whenever.

    Another first-timer here. Wondering whether to put all 28pence in for this week, or to just choose random amounts off the chart 🤔 Decisions decisions so early into the New Year.
    Sorry, forgot to ask, could you add me in, thank you
    Yes, lots of different ways of saving so hope you managed to decide in the end ;) 

    I have allocated you number 55 and added you to the list.

    First 1p payment made, ticked off list:)
    Well done. 

    Are you intending to report at the end of the month with all payments in total for that month?

    Happy New Year!
    I've added £1.10 to my pot for today.

    I think I will just do random amounts each day, colour in my chart a different colour for each month to keep track of how much I manage to save and update at the end of each month if that makes sense?! Mine is in a sealed pot so I can't 'see' what I'm saving so thought a chart is the best way to watch it grow.
    That makes perfect sense @Milki .  I will update the spreadsheet at the end of the month for you.  Good start.
