    Hi everyone,

    This week, my random number picker has given me:
    332, 233, 269, 264, 219, 290 and 333 = £19.30

    #45 putting £19.30 into the pot so new total is £104.99

    Thanks for running this thread @enthusiasticsaver and hope SIL is doing okay after his op x
    Great result.  I am very interested in this random number picker. Is it an app? 
     Do you put in any other criteria other than 365 days and the total amount?  How do you know it will fit in with your budget or do you set limits for monthly or weekly amounts and it just picks within those limits? 

    SIL is doing well thanks.

    Hi @enthusiasticsaver,
    Yes random number picker is an app called 'Random #'
    I set it up from 1 to 365 with no repeat numbers, but no other limitations. Could get a bit squeaky towards the end of the month (I get paid on 27th) but tbh I'm not really going out much and have stopped buying takeaway coffee so this is the equivalent spend!!
