1% challenge 2023

craftingmad

Good afternoon. Me again

I've just sold something on FB Marketplace so I've added £5 to the OP savings pot. I've also had two cheques clear from Royal Mail for items which went missing (I never used to claim so am adding this amount in) so that's another £42.

My total now stands at £35223.10/ £47300 = 74.46% 

£251.80 left to reach my 75% end of year target

Guess who  

Just popping in to declare another £25 has been transferred into the OP savings account today from a sale of some of my craft supplies to a friend  

This takes my total to £35248.10/£47300 = 74.52% 

That means I am only £226.90 short of reaching the 75% target. I really hope I'm going to do it

It's me again - in my defence it has been three days since I last posted  

I'm quickly popping in to declare another £15 (keep telling myself that these amounts do make a difference) made up of £5 from a FB marketplace sale, £5 from selling a handmade item to a neighbour and £5 from a tip for delivering food from my chip shop last night  

My total is now £35263.10/£47300 = 74.55% 

Now only £211.90 short from my end of year target

Not lots to report but I have added a further £5 into the pot made up of £2 from a FB marketplace sale and £3 from resisting a MCD;s whilst out today and instead going for a £3 poundland meal deal

Every pound counts right?

My total is now £35268.10/£47300 = 74.56% 

Now only £206.90 to find by the end of the year to reach my 2023 target I set for myself

Hi all, 

I've joined or followed this for years but my 1% is always so large I never get anywhere. Anyway, I have this little bit of debt, £173.19 so I'm going to do the 1% challenge to get rid of it just to give myself a little boost and have some fun. Haha that's my idea of fun 😄.

It's great to have you onboard remote

A small amount is a great way to start - it's addictive once you get going and even 1% of large amounts are possible so good luck

I'm declaring another £8 from a sale in my business who paid me direct into my bank account  

Not lots but I'm taking anything at this time of year and it will edge me closer towards the target I set myself for the end of this year  

My total now stands at £35276.10/£47300 = 74.57% 

£198.90 to find in 11 days to reach the percentage I wanted to be at at the end of this year Fingers crossed for some Christmas money from my mum and dad
