    Hi Andrew,

    I've moved this across to the Special Occasions and Celebrations board where people tend to post about saving for Christmas.

    OOh thanks for this - will start this today - keep it from hubby until christmas and then we'll have a bit of spending money for the hols - maybe go to cinema and out for a couple of meals with £100. And at £1 a day it doesn't seem like much.

    If you all saved £1 a day or even 50p a day then in the sales you could buy yourselves a cuttlebug (those who make cards)

    We're doing something simular in as much as we're buying 7 £1 Morrisons Saving stamps a week. So lots of nice christmas extras from the supermarket already pre-paid. Also buying some of the presents early so that December isn't such a strain (not only Christmas but I have two birthday presents to buy that month :( )

    I would love to join in but there's no chance of putting a pound in today... I've run out of toilet roll and bread and money today... Damnit!
