    Hi I'm still going!! I'm behind as only done 120 days so need to catch up a bit but just doing random days - no idea how much is in there just adding what I can when I can!

    I had caught up as of Wed!

    I can't actually believe I have stuck to this? It's easier as I'm paying in random amounts and if I have £5 I'll split it up with what ever needs ticked off.

    I have done all of the under £1 ones so I'm trying to chip away at the larger ones where I can now but I've done quite a few so I'm happy :)

    For 1st June I had made 152 payments and I'm really looking forward to banking it at the end of the year! Means I will start 2019 with a top up on my savings!

    How is everyone else getting on?

    I am transferring mine into my bank account as I don't have enough cash around to keep up with collecting the coins! Planning to use it to cover xmas trips which will be nice to have it saved in advance! :D

    I have finished May up to date with £273.12 :)

    I'm still going - mine are just random amounts but I'm doing good! No idea how much is in as I've not counted up what I've marked off yet!

    I'm so pleased I've suck with this challenge - I can't believe I've lasted this long!

    Doesn't look like anyone else is doing this thread any more! However I am still going and have a total now of £496.37!

    I have decided to keep this as a savings account and continue to grow it next year and hoping to put in double the amount each day! :)

    I'm still here Tales 17. Going well after a blip in the first few months, but getting there slowly. Haven't had a chance to catch up but keep crossing off the amounts. Mostly the bigger amounts left for me now - just how it's worked out for me this year
