    Please can I add £28 for my second amount LMD (#15). My first one was an intentional amount. The rest will be randomish. Interesting to see how others are playing the challenge. I see you are combining yours with the SPC opening date in October. That might be a step too far for me as this is quite an expensive challenge as it is, but nonetheless an interesting idea, and food for thought.

    There's no pressure to conform to anything AntoMac, saving is a bonus and that's all we are here to do :)

    I've updated the tracker for you

    Hi all 

    I'm in again :smile:
    Fab stuff @MrsShazbat - You will be No.11 this time

    So it turns out that with Plum, the challenge runs its course regardless - so if a week has been missed because my bank account was running on fumes, it pays the following week and continues up to Week 52.  I thought I had tweaked it to restart on 1 January but it appears not (same with the 1p challenge, which is slightly further behind!) so I'll have to see what happens after Week 52, whether it restarts itself or I have to do it meaning I'll always be 3 weeks behind!
