    Hi all
    I'm in again :smile:

    So it turns out that with Plum, the challenge runs its course regardless - so if a week(s) has been missed because my bank account was running on fumes, it pays the following week and continues up to Day 365.  I thought I had tweaked it to restart on 1 January but it appears not (same with 52 Week Challenge which is about 3 weeks behind!) so I'll have to see what happens after Day 365, whether it restarts itself or I have to do it meaning I'll always be about 20 days behind!

    I’m very late rejoining - thought I’d done it but clearly only intended to. I like todo this in reverse order and aim to finish in November to have the money available in December. So far I’ve saved 104.5 and 95.85 but haven’t got a number to allocate this money too (safely tucked up in Christmas fund account though).

    Thank you for running this thread again e@enthusiasticsaver. 
    That is a good start.

    So as with the 52-week challenge I'm just going to count these weeks towards this year's challenge.
