    Hello again…I’ve (we’ve ) been paid so it’s time to add some funds to my challenge pot 💰

    This will be my (our) contribution for April. I’m going to go with the monthly figures for both October and July, so £89.59 plus £61.07 giving a total of £150.66…again, this figure is doubled as both myself and my wife are taking part 🤞

    Therefore…..

     #86 £301.32 for April 

    All of our challenge pot has been transferred into a new First Direct savings account which pays seven percent interest…every little helps lol 

    Many thanks to @enthusiasticsaver once again for making this challenge so enjoyable and addictive 🙏

    Laters 👍


    £12k in 2025 #27 ( £7,000 / £12000 ) 🤞
    £12k in 2024 #18 (£14,000 / £12,000)…Goal surpassed 🙏

    Have just potted £2.50 tonight. I am getting so little cash through my hands at the moment, and I am trying to cross off as many big values as I can. To be fair, a lot of the money for this challenge is coming from surveys, so am not entirely relying on cash.

    I have just put £10 in my pot. Have crossed
    £3.34
    £3.33
    £1.79 and
    £1.54 off my list.

    I will come back at the end of the month and give my final tally enthusiasticsaver (and not saying I spent too long on this forum, but when I type "e n t h u", it seems your name is stored in my predictive text 🤣🤣).

    Lol. How funny 😄 saves you typing it out. I wish I had thought of a shorter name when I joined although I tend to abbreviate as ES when brevity is needed. I am reading updates everyone and you are all putting me to shame. I am away visiting family until early next week so can’t update until then on my laptop. Almost into April and I am looking forward to my next savings contribution. Keep going all you happy savers. 😁
