    Hello everyone!

    Sorry bit late posting today as I walked 3 miles into town and back this morning. It wasn't raining for once, so carpe diem!!

    Another fiver in the Monzo pot today so I'm now at £35.02 whoop 🙌

    Thank you for all the updates. Totals on page 1 updated to here.

    Have a good week all

    Hi can I join again please? I did this challenge last year, although I squirreled aside a monthly amount on payday rather than putting £5 pw aside and I lost my log in so didn't update the thread!

    The "extra" cash for socialising and activities was great! So much so I started one in the summer for the summer hols with my girl (would say lo but alas she's no longer a lo!) I tried to extol the virtues of putting a fiver away to 2 girlfriends and they responded "£260 wouldn't be enough for my festive costs." I pointed out it wasn't "only £260" but rather an additional £260 "free money"!

    Anyway each to their own! Put me down again please :)
