Thumbs up 20p Savers Club: Part 2
This is a follow up to the original 20p savers club thread, which doesn't appear to be active any more.
So here's a new one, a breath of fresh air for the 20p Savers Club. Let's make this one active and have to start a Part 3 because it's got too many posts, not because it's too old!

Anyway, I'll start off!
(also an example, of course customize it to your will. Like what your saving it for etc.)

20p Savings Target: £20 before banking.
Archived So Far: £6.20
Banked/Spent: £00.00

So welcome back 20p savers!



Kind Regards,
Andy.

I have my Smarties tube up and running and I believe there's currently about £1.40 in there! I try not to count, but as you can see from my sig, I've done quite well in the past - the Smarties tube always helps! (And it's a good excuse to buy some chocolate!)

I don't like the new smarties tubes now. The old ones had a proper cap, but now they have a cardboard cap.
So instead I've got Min-Egg tubes and labelled the first £5 one (with "£5"). So I'm only 3 more tubes away from my target

I got 4 more 20p's today, upping me up to a total of £7.
