    If it's not too late I'd like to join in?

    We're going away for Christmas 2026 and I'd like to have some spending money stashed away🎄

    I'm doing things in reverse and want to finish by 1st December, so finishing a little early. £120 tucked away for January :)
    That is fine and I have added you to the list. You are number 48.

    I'm doing it on my revolut card, I'm doing the original 1p on 1st Jan, 2p on 2nd jan etc, moving from my main card to a revolut savings account paying 3%. I probably won't notice the amounts until the 2nd half of the year, by which time I'll be more conscious of the amounts I'm topping the main card up with.

    I now have £2.10 :)
