    Hi all, another Friday rolls around so it's another fiver in the pot for me. Now at £25 😁

    Thank you to those who have updated their totals. If you are struggling to start the challenge or keep up with it, don't worry. Anything you can pop away now will be a bonus at the end of the year.

    Totals are updated to here. Please let me know if any changes are needed.

    Have a good week,

    Total now up to £45.03 now. I’m enjoying seeing the numbers going up each week, I’ve set up a standing order for it to automatically go into my chase account (which has interest added monthly) every week!

    Hello Friday Fiver chums!

    I know @Spendless - will this rain ever stop? Ironically had the hosepipe ban lifted here on Wednesday!

    Another £5 in my Monzo pot bringing me to £30.02(!) as I had a little interest at the end of January. It all counts.

    Well done to all those still popping those small amounts away. Totals updated to here.

    Have a good week everyone,

    Coxy
