lellybun said:Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing ok and have had a good week.
Another £26.50 for me please LMD.
I am doing this challenge virtually, which is not quite so exciting as having physical envelopes, but seems to work for me😁
Saw on your diary that you have a nasty cold, hope you shift it quick and manage to have a good weekend.
Lelly 😊
Updated the tracker for you

Sorry to hear about your puppy @~FlowerPot~, but glad that he's on the mend.
For those doing the challenge virtually, you can always create prop notes or placeholders to stuff in your envelopes as you transfer the money. So you still get the physical satisfaction of filling up envelopes, whilst having the security of knowing that the money is banked @lellybun.
I see a lot of cash stuffers on YouTube using prop notes and placeholders (most just make these themselves or write the value on a piece of paper), and put the prop note/placeholder in their cash envelopes when they're doing their budgeting. So I'm assuming the same principle can be applied to this challenge if needed?? Best of both worlds so to speak.

Good morning all, I'm almost feeling human again @lellybun thank you.
Great tip @Keedie! That may be my approach next year, I might include notes about what has happened that week so it will be like opening a year of memories.
Well done @~FlowerPot~ and @IndiJonesi, I will update the tracker with our updates, I have filled #35 today
