    Hello everyone,

    Please can I join in ?

    I aim to have saved £250 by 30th november 2009 which should cover christmas easily :D .

    I will be keeping my £2 coins savings separate though - they are almost sacred ;) .

    I had £5 ready for the window cleaner but as he hasnt turned up to do the usual christmas eve clean & collect I might as well use it to start the challenge.

    Now all I need to do is find a suitable impenetrable container :rotfl:

    Merry christmas everyone & yay to not having to 'pay' for it next year :D

    Lula :xmastree:

    Merry christmas everyone!

    Well my pot has been "well fed" the last few days , with almost £3.00 in today lol!

    I was given £40.00 for christmas..some has to go to a friend who ordered me some dvds online! (legal may i add) i just didnt have my paypal account set up lol.

    I was given LOADS for christmas , my mum and dad spoilt me , i love them so much!

    Stunty , i hope u and the future mrs s , are having a lovely day today!

    I also found 50p on the shop floor the other day , i went to hand it in to the woman case some one realized and wanted to look for it , but she said no one had asked and i asked if i could put it in the charity pot but that had just been taking for collection and they were awaiting a new one so she said keep it lol :) the most honest 50p in my tin lol.

    I also found 1p down my road the other day , i wouldnt usually pick it up but i did , my copper and 5s tin is adding up nicely , i think by march i will need another sealed pot for my 10p and ups because my current one is already getting HEAVY!

    Sue have a wonderful day today!

    Hello and merry christmas to every one else!

    This time next year i will be filling up a new pot! x
