    I'd like to join in too please. I'm intending to start from 1st December so hope to put away £4.96 at the end of the month. I haven't done this before so any number is fine with me.

    Oooh I'm getting excited by doing this with others properly this time. I don't know what nonsense I got on with last time, but the pot is going well so far 😁.

    @enthusiasticsaver, I put my money aside whenever I get some income (which is staggered throughout the month), so I'll post here as I've made those payments. Mine is done based on random amounts. Can I please update my balance with what I have saved so far? If so, it's £98.31. Thanks x

    How exciting. My first update and that is a great result so far. I have updated the sheet so you are up and running. Sounds like you have found a system that works for you. Struggling to insert formulas on my phone so nothing showing in total yet for you but will do on my laptop later. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻

    Excellent. You are number 15. Looks like you and I will be following a similar plan as I will be doing the same amount but in the 1st January. I have put your name on the sheet.

    I do pay date to pay date so I have paid Jan 1-26th (December was paid in full on 27th November for the 2022 challenge).  So currently I have £3.51 in there.  

    Last year I did it backwards but I am opting for forwards this year :)

    Hi ES - can you add me.  I like the idea of random amounts throughout the year.  I'm tempted to go old school and use actual cash - we are planning a holiday to see my brother in a different time zone in 2024 - this will be a nice amount of spends.  Any number will do 
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine
