A question about : Saving for Xmas 2015! A pound a day :-)
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME
Lovely to meet you 
,please sit down and have a little read of what I think is going to be an amazing and beneficial challenge for all 
This is the Saving for Xmas 2015! A pound a day :-) challenge
The aim: To save Ј1 a day from 1st December 2014, whether it be a Ј1 coin into a jar or moving it across in an online saver, it really doesn't matter . We will then open the jar or have access to the online account on 1st December 2015 and spend spend spend for all our loved ones Xmas presents.
I will be using my phone banking app and transferring over Ј1 everyday into my ISA. This way I can watch it grow and see that I'm physically saving. This way, if I have an emergency or am in dire need of money, I have quick access to it.
This thread is the new and improved 2014 - Ј365 in 365 days! thread. Lots of people did fantastic on it throughout the year which is why it's back for population demand.
Ј365 is a fair chunk of change for Xmas shopping and I already have an idea what I'm going to spend it on. Think about it people, this could actually be the year you can surprise your kids / partner with a fantastic present 
Get your names on the list people, this is going to be a busy and exciting road ahead 
In order to see the spreadsheet after you have submitted the form, you will either have to sign into your google account or sign up for one. Once this has been done you will have to request access to the spreadsheet. I will then add your email to the list of approved persons who can view the document. 
You cannot break the spreadsheet. A few people have been saying that they don't want to touch it incase it all goes wrong. Only I can change/edit it. You will be able to open it up in an excel document and view it only. Don't be afraid of it. If you haven't already, request permission and have a look, it's very colourful

Happy saving everyone - I am going to use my bear piggy bank and put Ј1 coin a day in and save it all for Christmas 2015.
- What a great idea. Would make next year so much easier.
Not sure how I'll do it (online/jar) but I'm in. - I'm in - tin ready and waiting!!! Are we starting 1st December?
- Count me in please, this would help me to be much more prepared for Xmas next year.
- Count me in please!
- Put my name down for this please. I'll also be transferring money online as I'm doing the SPC with savings tins.
- Put my name down please.
- I'm in
If it's okay with everybody, I'm going to save Ј2 per day from 1st December so that I have just over Ј700 next December.....My Family and Friends have been extremely Supportive over the last 5 years while I have been Studying to become a Qualified Psychotherapist....and I finished the Course last night () so next Year I really want to save up so that I can really treat my Family and Friends in a rather Spectacular way!!
I've already made a note in my Diary on December 1st....and I have a Metal Tin (that I've had for ages) that says "Ј500 Saver" on it....so it might not fit all the money in it....but I can always add another little tin if I run out of space....
Let's GO FOR IT!! - Count me in, I'm going for Ј1.50 a day in an online saver
- I am in x
- I'm in Love the name of the thread, would be lovely to have the money available for Christmas.
Now I'm trying to think of where to save my Ј1 a day. Online is easiest and just transfer across but I will have to be disciplined about not dipping in. I am thinking a sealed tin would be better because if I actually had to unseal - I would think more before spending. How are others going to save? - Yeah I'm in thanks
- I was thinking about doing this anyway so I'd love to get the support and motivation of doing it along with fellow MSE-ers.
I think I'm going to try and get a tin or similar to keep my Ј1 coins in. I might put a money counter/piggy bank on my Xmas list!!
