    Hello, I have aldready decided that this isnt working for me, Ive been moving across money daily if I couldnt find cash lying around. But its too fiddly and confusing, so Im going to put £15 across into my new savings account by standing order, this way I cant forget!! It will take me over the amount, but that fine, I will prob be spending it by the end of November anyway!!
    Ill still update at the end of each month
    thank you so much @enthusiasticsaver you deserve a medal for attempting to keep up with everyone!!

    Yes  I don't blame you.  I would not  be able to keep up with moving  money daily either.  Monthly works for me. I look forward to your updates. 

    Is that £15 per week? You have to save the way it works for you and that should be a nice amount by  November.  I assume you are saving for Christmas 2023?

    yep £15 a week, I receive my work money weekly, so that makes more sense for me.

    😂 Don’t think I will as it will get harder towards the end of the year, just trying to put cash in to make it easier.Anna_v said:

    Anna_v No54 I have completed March savings.
    I am trying to stay ahead make it a little easier as months go by…Happy saving.
    Thanks.
    What amount have you saved so far this month? 
    I have saved £41.00 plus a few odd coins….Hope I have it right for January, February and March…please tell me if I am incorrect.
    Tank you.
    You are doing well.  I have you down as having saved up to end of March with £41.00 which is actually slightly above the target.  At this rate you will finish the challenge by Easter ;)

    Ehthusiasticsaver…thank you for updating. Trying to get ahead ready for the larger amounts later in the year….hoping to save more than the £647…but will have to wait and see😀

    Hope to keep working through the higher amounts this month but may have to swap to some smaller ones as I also want to knock £300 off the cc statement this month (0% interest)

    As posted earlier, I’m doing it slightly unconventionally, day 1 plus day 365, then day 2 plus 364, day 3 plus 363 and so on. £3.66 a day, so have saved £54.90 so far and the task will be over in 183 days.
