    Well done! That’s a great way to save up, you aren’t going to miss that £5 and it will soon mount up

    Another £5 into the pot so £10 in total

    Hey everyone,

    Happy Friday - not liking these shorter daylight days tbh, but what can you do?!

    Another fiver into my pot today so I have £220 plus a teeny bit of interest. Well done to all those sticking with the challenge. Doesn't matter if you save weekly or monthly, it all counts.

    Totals updated to here.

    Have a great weekend.
    Coxy xx

    #2 another £5 paid in.

    are we going to keep this going next year @Coxy11. If so, I’m in. It has mounted up beautifully and means all our festive food and drink will be covered without me having to worry about the cost of the meat etc. I shall be raising a toast to you for having this idea way back in January when I’ve done the Christmas big shop - thank you xx
