    Can't wait for the 2009 challenge!

    My best friend gave me my Christmas pressie today - the box rattling has verified my thoughts - a terramundi pot!

    I have something to put my cash in, but not until Christmas day...so...I've just superglued up an empty water bottle and cut a slit in it for cash entry - I now have my pot for the next few weeks!

    Just hope I can resist the temptation to cut it open and access the cash in between times - it's not exactly tamper-resistent!

    I'm eagerly awaiting the thread tomorrow so I can join in and hopefully get a number. It's very exciting I've really enjoyed seeing what everyone saved. I have my huge sealed tin from the Discount shop at the end of our road, was £3.99, its plenty big enough. I'm going to aim for £500 as I shall be saving £2 coins as well as coppers and 5p, 10p and 20p pieces.
