Yes I can imagine the larger amounts in November and December can be a challenge. I am attempting to even the payments out over the year more for that reason.MikeyPGT said:I did this last year off my own bat, but found it a real struggle in November/December when the daily payments got over £3 a day. This year I'm allocating direct from my monthly budget and transferring the cash over to my credit union account when my pay comes in on the 24th of each month ...I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

Welcome. You are number 98. Have you read the first post as to how the challenge works? Transferring on payday sounds like a good plan.bamgbost said:Can I join!

Still moving £3.66 a day into a separate account, 21 days £76.86. Reckon I have only another 162 days for the final payment into my ‘365 1p a day in double time’ challenge.baser999 said: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.

21p added today. I think it's the first day of the challenge that I've followed the tradition of putting in the "correct" amount (ie 21 p for the 21st day of the year).SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

I transferred £2.22 to my Paypal this morning.
I hardly ever use Paypal, but I have started doing surveys again, and they pay into PP. I have been doing Curious Cat surveys, and have been transferring earnings to PP when they reach £5 (Martin advises not letting balances get to high before claiming.)
This morning I was being screened out of sooooooooooooo many surveys (I have "failed" or been screened out 23 times today!!!). I thought CC might think I was not taking surveys seriously, and give me the boot, so I took my money before it built up too much.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
