The 365 Day 1p Challenge 2024

thegreenhouse

Hi everyone! It's great reading about everyone's progress.

#2 in October I potted £75.94. Getting there!

I learnt recently that according to pagan tradition, 1 November is the New Year, after the last harvest on 31 October, which is all linked to Halloween, pumpkins, and bonfires etc. I like the idea of renewal at this time of year, it makes way more sense to me, personally--starting a "new year" entering into winter. I don't know many people who feel particularly renewed on January 1st! So however you all feel at whatever time of year, and whatever festivals you celebrate personally, I hope you all enter into a restful and joyful winter

Thanks, @enthusiasticsaver for running the challenge and keeping our totals totted up.

#14 please add £60 for both November and December which brings my total to £670 and I'm stopping there (only a bit short!)
I managed to sell some things on Vinted, FB etc so I've managed to get ahead.
This is my Christmas/New year money and I've already starting shopping this week!

2025 1p Challenge I will start early again, as I need the money for the end of October/start of November for Christmas and New Year again.

Thanks for running the challenge, well done to everyone for saving, and keep going to those who haven't finished yet. Any amount saved is an achievement!

Congratulations on finishing the challenge.  I won't be putting the 2025 challenge thread up for a while so just bookmark this one and I will post the new link when it goes up.

I have just paid in £60.30 for Novembers contribution so just one more payment to go.  Well done to those who have already finished. 

I have agreed to run the challenge again next year but I will not be taking names etc until nearer the end of the year.  Please bookmark the thread and I will post up the new link when I set it up. Hope it has provided an incentive to save. 

I don't have any plans for my savings so I will be rolling them into my main savings account at the end of the year.

Definitely want to try again next year. Looks like we may be in a slightly stronger financial position from January, so hopefully I can complete it a lot easier next year. Thanks for agreeing to run it again.

#45 - Moved £12.74 to my savings account on November 1st 😀

Tempted to also to do December's amount now so then it's finished 😅

I'm hoping to do carry on saving and I'm planning to use the money to go towards adult braces/Invisalign. I am definitely joining next year's challenge, thanks to this challenge and saving other small amounts each month I've managed to save £1125 so far 😀
