    It seems a bit quiet on here this week so I will leave the updates until next week.Β 

    Β Yet again my personal account is looking sorry for itself with just Β£62 in it to last until 1st September and I have 3 personal social events next week to pay out for. Can I do it without resorting to my spare account?Β 

    Any spare money I have will be transferred into the challenge savings space next Friday and no more invitations will be accepted until after 1st September unless they are free.Β 

    We are watching the Lionesses this morning so will say well done savers and keep going.Β

    #99 - payday tomorrow so set up to transfer Β£70 to the Credit Union account.Β  Have realised that the payment for December should be coming out on Christmas Eve which is probably after I am likely to withdrawn the pot to pay for Christmas so that is likely to be a 'virtual' payment!Β  Already looking at next year and wondering whether to try a reverse 365 Challenge or just invest a steady Β£55 a month and end up in a similar place ...

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    Are you saving yours for Christmas then? A few people have opted to do that with an earlier finish like end of October or early November. Good you are looking at next year already. For me it works best having an average every month near enough. I still like ticking off the individual days though.Β
