    Hi everyone, here is my Friday update.

    This week I've had to randomly select the remaining numbers as my app is no longer  :'(
    133, 83, 357, 266, 151, 52 and 214 = 1256 so £12.56 going into the pot.

    #45 new total is £454.97

    Many thanks to @enthusiasticsaver for keeping us in check!

  • Oh dear @Coxy11 commiserations on deleting the random number app. I feel your pain.  The JogLe challenge sounds interesting.  I shall be after a new challenge after finishing my South West Coast Path challenge in 6 walks time but that sounds like a challenge and a half.  How far have you got and how do you manage to find the time to do it?

  • My first year 2023, doing the 1p saving challenge using an almost dormant savings account to transfer money into.  I decided to do it monthly and backwards so that by December it would be a nominal figure going into the pot. It has been surprisingly easy. I have nothing particular planned and may just continue next year without touching the pot.

    So far £628.64 in the pot
