    Finally sending my first update of the year 
    #31 just put £0.03

    in the pot… I joined using the Monzo challenge, so it’s easier to manage and be on top of, however they only launched it yesterday and there is no way backfill to 1st January! So today was day 2, and the challenge will end on 6th January 2026. They gave me a good interest rate, though, so I’m hoping the interest will soon cover the missing pennies, and I should be all caught up before the end of the year.
