    enthusiasticsaver, No 54 I have banked £108.50 for December. 

    That leaves £15.87 in my pot towards either April or November depending on how it goes.😀
    I think I have now completed Jan, Feb, March and December.
    Thank you.

  • Ok, so as we’ve just been paid we are taking care of the payment for March.

    As we don’t have a council tax bill again in March we are going to pay November’s and February’s monthly figures to help us get a little ahead of the game!

    Therefore, for the March payment could you show us as having paid…

    Topscooby #86 (February + November payment x2) = £217.18

    Many thanks @enthusiasticsaver (especially if you can decipher my explanation lol )

    See you all next payday then 💰 

    Cheers,

    Andy 👌

  • Hi @enthusiasticsaver is it possible to join the challenge? Myself and my partner have already started as we are saving for flights to visit family in Aus. We are trying a slightly different method. Going to aim for £10 Jan (saved), £20 Feb and so on..
    Welcome and I have added you to the list. Not sure if you intend to report regularly but if you do your number is 101 and if you could do monthly or weekly reporting in bold on the thread so I can easily spot it that would be appreciated. 

    What is your target?

    An Australia trip sounds very exciting but expensive.  


    Thanks for the add. Target is £780 which I think will be tricky! Thanks for the rules, i've been doing this for a few years without reporting but its time to officially join in.

    Will be reporting monthly in line with payday :)

    Well done Andy.  You are my first March update.  

    Incidentally I am not keeping track of which months people are paying.  Just the amount you actually save in whichever month we are in. So for March for you it is just £217.18  With people doing the challenge backwards or random months or even days  it would be too tricky but you are welcome to post the months you are covering here anyway to help you keep on track.  

    You are at over £440 already :)
