Another night not to get a hangover from then LC!!!:cool:........rancid-a, that sounds like a great idea from your employers as it makes sure everyone has enough for Christmas, very thoughtful indeed!!!:T....nickynoo08, to answer your question mine too, it's a lot more exiting with a little pot than going to a bank, I know which appeals to me more!!! ;)A good idea of the £2 per week toottifrootti! At least you can be sure of a definate amount that way, especially if you're looking towards a certain amount.

    Decisions, decisions eh izzoh!:confused:

    I never count mine - but if you feel a really strong temptation then do it - after all, if you regret doing so then you don't have to count it again!;) Think on it overnight perhaps.

    Good luck.

    Good idea Sue... it is probably just because I am bored... I will resist temptation... I know it has only been just under a month but can't believe i have not touched any of the money! lol

    Good luck. x:T

  • Morning,

    Found 20p on the pavement yesterday which has gone into the demi-john.

    Izzoh - I know what you mean about wanting to count it, it's seeing it all there and feeling how heavy it is getting that does it.

    Tea

    Confession time - I was naughty and didn't put my grandad's £5 present to me and DD in the pot at the time, used it when we went out to the ballet last Sunday; it had been eating me up all week that I'd gone back on my promise to myself, so last night I realised I had £5 plus change in my purse, so in it all went.

    I agree with the bemusement about having a sealed tin and knowing exactly what's in there, personally if I wanted to know how much was in it, I'd have a separate savings account and put the money straight in there and earn a miniscule amount of interest. But hey, what works for everyone is great by me :):)

    I'm going for the secrecy option and as I'm already getting presents when I see bargainous good things for everyone for next year's birthdays/Christmas, I might have to treat myself to the contents of the sealed pot for something totally frivolous and completely for me as it'll be "free money".

    Blimey, I do like to waffle on don't I.....sorry!!
