    I have just updated the sheet.  It is certainly getting tougher now for those who are doing it forward rather than backward, randomly or trying to average it out as I am. 

    However much you finish with it is  certainly better than saving nothing so try not to feel too bad if you are like @GeorgianaCavendish and wonder if you can finish the challenge.  No one should feel bad if they have other priorities. Have a lovely weekend all.  I have a big family bash to celebrate my sisters 60th  and retirement.

    Morning, 55 checking in. I’ve been transferring £3.66 a day (1p plus £3.65, 2p/£3.64, 3p/£3.63 and so on) and at the end of June have amassed £662.46 plus a little interest. Final two payments this weekend 😀 
    Thinking what I could do next 🤔

    Thank you ES - #17 reporting in 

    I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and June's total is £58.98 to my Bonus saver  (am already topping up reg savers so this will have to do).  This takes my challenge total for 2023 up to £344.78
