1% challenge 2023

craftingmad

After not posting for ages I'm now posting for the second time today  

Just remembered that I had paid a cheque in from Royal Mail received as compensation for an order which went missing so as it has now cleared, I have just transferred £6.40 into the OP savings account. Small amounts today but they do all add up  

So this takes my total now to £35282.50/£47300 = 74.59%  

£192.50 short of that magic 75% figure now

So sorry its me again. I feel like I've hogged this thread and scared you all off - sorry x

I'm just quickly checking in before my chippy shift to declare a further £23 added to my OP savings pot made up of £15 from a FB sale, £7 from using Asda rewards vouchers and £1 from a parking voucher redeemed at Sainsburys today so I got free parking for two hours  

My total now stands at £35305.50/£47300 = £74.64% 

£169.50 away from that magic 75% figure now

#5 popping in.

Paid for bfs petrol £67.88!

£444.99 / £1200 (4th 1%)

I'm also £80.90 away from dropping a digit from what I owe the bf! Excited to start seeing some £9's instead of £10's

Well done everyone. Doing good. I'm going to set a new percentage at New Year I think. And thankfully my 1% should be smaller this year....finally... 😂

Very excited to hear that your 1% will be lower next year - fantastic news

My interest has been paid on the savings account for this month so I can declare £384.51 has been added into the OP savings account.

This takes my total to £35690.01/£47300 = 75.45% 

I've managed to reach the 75% paid which I wanted to be at by the end of the year 

Fingers crossed I can take out the next 25% pretty quickly too

Knew I had forgotten something with the festivities of Christmas. I paid in three cheques on 21st December (claims for lost parcels from Royal Mail) and they have now cleared so have added a further £24.25 into the OP savings pot.

Total now stands at £35714.26/£47300 = 75.50%

Fantastic. I knew you would manage it. At the risk of being a bit presumptuous when you have been going full pelt already and done so well to get this far. 100% by summer solstice??? 😆 think that's the 21st June. Thought Easter at first but then realised that's a bit soon.

Joking btw. At your own pace!
