    £2 sent to virtual pot.

    £1 added to cash envelopes. I think my intent to do cash backwards was a bit too ambitious 😆
    I will alternate between high and low for January at least.

    Goid progress everyone!
    I'm currently tracking your cash one, do you want me to add another and track the virtual too or are you happy to keep tabs on that one?
    your £1 has been added to the tracker
