    Hello Fiver Friday challengers! Hope you're all doing okay given the dire weather we are having xx

    Welcome @RhiBi - good to see you. You are #10 and well done on the great start to the challenge!

    I have transferred another £5 over today so have £10. Well done to all those stashing away those fivers - be it in weekly increments or monthly. You do you.

    I've updated the totals on page 1 of the challenge - please let me know if anything doesn't look right.

    Have a good weekend and stay safe and warm!

    Good morning all, hope everyone has had a good week?

    I’ve had a bit of a juggle of my finances. I’ve opened a MONZO account which has the facility to open separate pots - they pay 2.75% - so I’ve moved my 2026 Fiver Friday Challenge funds to one of them. My latest £5 has gone in this morning, so I’m now up to £15 😊 

    Totals update to here - all info on page 1. Please let me know if anything looks wrong.

    #9 - Logging in from the US. We're 6 hours behind and I have a day ahead later of going moonshine tasting with 2 other wives whilst DH works 😅

    Monzo is who Im with too. I love being able to label all the different savings pots. I now have another £5 in mine making total £15.

    Monzo is a game changer - I have several pots for different savings.

    Really makes you think where your money is going to let alone allowing me to save for things!
