Hi Friday Savers!
Well done to everyone for sticking with it through January which seemed to have eleventy billion days.....
I put my final January £5 away today so have a total of £25.
Well done @beanielou for getting off the mark and to @BadBookkeeper for getting ahead with February's £5s already saved. Great stuff.
I've been updating the list on Page 1, of everyone's totals. If anything is incorrect, please let me know.
By my reckoning we have, as a group, saved £268.64 so far which is fab-u-lous.
Well done everyone and keep going!

#10 £5 added today. This is a great challenge, as its making me remember to save the money every week for my DGS's spending money. Without this, I would probably suddenly realise it is time for their holidays in July, and not have enough money for them. Then there will be a bit more for the 2 eldest when they get their GCSE results in August.
