Fiver Friday Challenge 2025

Hello all,

I've previously taken part in the 365 1p challenge but due to a change in work circumstances I won't be able to participate in 2025. Instead I'm going to try Fiver Friday where I'll attempt to put away £5 every Friday into a savings account. Should mean I have £260 by the end of 2025.

I couldn't see a thread already running, so plan to chart my progress here. Anyone else want to join me?  :)
