    Well, I originally emptied £1.03 into my physical pot. I went to cross it off my list, and it seems I've already potted a £1.03. So I had to scrabble around and find more coinage   :D. I found another 8p on my bedside table, so £1.11 potted.
    SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
    Pinecone £301,Valued Opinions £10.50





  • Hi, is it too late to join in this challenge? I am doing mine monthly but in reverse, so the big numbers go first, I do this as I use Jan Feb Mar payment breaks for council tax, water bills etc. So I have Jan £108.50 and Feb £95.85 in the pot.  I can track it on my signature then, many thanks x

    Morning all,

    My Friday update. This week my random number picker has given me:
    334, 44, 97, 362, 163, 155 and 171 = 1326 so £13.26 going into the pot.

    #45 Coxy11 new total is £118.25

    Payday is Monday thank goodness. I was happy to have a couple of lower numbers this week!
    Many thanks to @enthusiasticsaver for running this challenge x

    Well done and I have updated for you as I guess that is February done for you now. Interesting that even though random the amount so far is roughly the same as if you put the average amount in monthly. So £53.43 in January and £61.36 in February. 

     I will be giving this a try next year.

  • Happy Friday all you wonderful savers.  I for one will be glad to see payday next week and the next instalment of my penny challenge will go into my savings space. 

    It has been a tough month not helped by me losing my prescription glasses on a tough 12 mile coastal hike last week when they must have dropped out of my backpack when I pulled my hat out.  I am now £89 poorer having had to fork out for new glasses although I did order 2 for 1.  

    Have a great weekend everyone.
