    Hello lovely Fiver Friday challengers! Sorry for the radio silence. We were away for a week in Majorca (lovely) and since we've been back have been sorting Daddy Day Care as my 86yo DDad is here for a month.

    I did stick to putting £5 across for the two Fridays I was absent. My total now stands at £125.61.

    Thank you for the many updates - all totals now updated on page 1. So lovely to see the amounts being saved without (hopefully) too much effort.

    Have a good week everyone.

    I really enjoy this challenge, usually I’d have dropped off the radar by now. Thank you for organising this!

    Find a little bit of joy in every day.

    Good morning everyone,

    (…DRUMROLL…) We are now officially HALF WAY THROUGH this challenge whoop 🙌

    Hope you've all had a good week and are keeping well in the heat (if you've had any!). I've been ferrying my Dad around a lot this week plus worked my usual two days so it's gone very quickly.

    Another fiver into my account today bringing my total saved to date to £130.61.

    Glad you're enjoying it @RhiBi - it's amazing how the little and often approach can make a big difference.

    Thank you everyone for your updates. All totals amended on page 1.
