  • Hi,  Could I join please.  I will be paying off random amounts monthly as I need to save towards Christmas and also a big holiday next November! This is my first challenge ever :)
    Welcome @kazzymac_2!  You are challenger No. 8, my completed envelopes also go to travelling :) 

    Lovely, thank you.  Look forward to the challenge :)
    2025: 52 wk envelope challenge #8    £257

    Vinted sales for 2025 = £38.50
  • Good Morning. Can I join please? I started last year but fell off as my builder had a cancellation so I ended up getting my extension built earlier than expected. Back on the saving now. ☺️

    Hello

    Just coming out of extreme lurkerdom to say thanks for this idea. I took part this year but divided the amounts monthly and paid into a savings account. I've got just over £1400 now thanks to a small round up and interest.

    It's maybe less fun than 52 envelopes but I'm glad to have that saved! I did the penny challenge the previous year and now looking to do something else for next year. But this one served me well so I may just do it again.

    I'm planning on a nice treat for me and £1100 to my ISA for now.

    Hello can I join please. I've downloaded an app that will add it up for me as I probably won't be going in order. DH has an op and will be on ssp for a while this year, I'm hoping I can do the cheap weeks still whilst he is off!

  • Hi. Please add me to the list for 2025.
    I'm going to do them in a random order depending how much money I have spare each week/month.
    I found the 2024 challenge was a really helpful way to save for Christmas.
    Thanks.
