    ooh i still get amazed how many threads there are on this site. Ive only just seen this one. I will follow along if thats ok?
     and try and catch up with a few weeks worth of envelopes, but doubt I will make 52. We'll see. I am going to do random numbers and real cash, most of my others savings are in pots in accounts, so this will be nice to do, will need to seal these envelopes well so i dont dip into them!!!!!

  • Mine are coloured ones, I keep the filled ones in a cash tin but there’s not much room in there already so I think I will need to review where I put the filled ones.

    I will update the spreadsheet with your additions, well done!
