A question about : Weekly Savings Challenge 2015

Originlly set up by splodgethefirst last year, I thought this years participants would like a new thread!

There are lots of different ways to approach this
Starting with Ј1 in Wk 1 up to Ј52 in wk 52
/
starting with 50p in wk1 up to Ј26 in wk 52
/
starting with 10p in wk 1 up to Ј5.20 in week 52
/
Let us know how you plan to tackle this and I'll pop your name and target amount in a list!

  • Can I join please Mrs Cheshire?
    Put my name down as mot or something if it's easier lol.
  • Thanks Mrs C for starting the new thread, I put Ј228 into account earlier for double 1 forwards and 1 backwards for Jan. So that is me up to end of Jan
  • Thanks for the add, I'm going for the pound one. I'm on week 5 however I've worked it out over the year that some weeks I will pay from the higher amounts and other weeks will be lower depending upon paydays and bills coming out etc. so I won't be following a 'traditional' 1-52 iyswim.
    If I post funny amounts up it's because I'm paying to suit my income dates. I need the motivation and support
  • Sounds like the perfect way to approach it
  • Can I try? I will go for the Ј1 a week, not sure how I will do in the later weeks but hopefully by then things will have improved, need to think positive . Great idea, thank you
  • Evening all
    Thank you for the new thread Mrs Cheshire
    I'm already on the list. But I went AWOL during last years challenge as I just didn't have enough money to keep with it. However I will try again his year but going for the 50p challenge, as Im already doing the Ј1 a day challenge too.
  • Hello,
    I'd like to join please, need to start building an emergency fund up and this seems a good way to get started. I'm going for Ј1 a week.
    Thank you!
  • I would like to join please! Could you put me down for the Ј1 per week challenge? Thank you
  • mrs cheshire thanks for starting this new thread. I have been doing it now for 9 weeks but I didn't have a number. Please can you give me a number so i can carry on
  • Will assign all the new people a number when I'm next on the laptop
  • Hey am well chuffed I set up a new bank account for this challenge @ my first payment of Ј106 has gone out xx ooh I will have savings this year xx
  • can I join please- will be doing the 50p one thanks x
  • I'm up for the 52 week challenge, if you will have me. The first one, Ј1 -Ј52 per week. Thanks.
  • Hi Mrs Cheshire....I was watching the Old Thread for last Year and wishing I had done it but I couldn't catch up to the point at which I had found the Thread....Does that make sense? LoL
    Anyway....I had already decided to do this and so I have done the first 5 Weeks....so I'm pleased with that....
    If I could have a number that would be great....and I will go add it in my Signature....
    I'm aiming to put it towards some nice Treats for myself in 2016...I want to save it all and that way I know what I can budget for next Year....And it has been soooooooooo long since I've had a Holiday that one of the things I would like is a mini-break away somewhere in Europe....that would be WONDERFUL!!
    EDIT: I am doing the first one....the traditional way, I just hope I can make the Payments later in the Year!!
  • Welcome to all the new people, I have assigned you all numbers, if you could pop them in your signature.
