    Excellent start @BadBookkeeper 😊

    Welcome @lilian1977 😊
    Thank you. I'm going to merge it with the Tidy Up challenge where I'll round down my account every time I spend, then hopefully will have at least £5 a week to move across anyway.

    This is a great idea. I am already doing the 1p a day challenge, but would like to try this one as well.  Will try and use my money from surveys etc. 
    Good luck to everybody.

    First £5 transferred to my saving account and a repeating payment setup for every Friday until the end of the year. Feeling very happy with myself and glad that the Christmas food/drink shop will take care of itself this year.
