    Just put another £1.03 in my pot, (well its really a tin, but I don't want him to get an inferiority complex !!)..:o....I didn't set a target, but would like to be aiming to feed him with a £1 per day, and that will be in excess of £300 for christmas.

    Please can I join in. I have a start fund to make up for my late start of about £4 which is in my current coppers pot....but it's not sealed and I always raid it. I would like to have a target of £250 towards baby things!

    I would like to think that in 12 months we can acheive that....provided the bubba doesn't come along before the end of the year! ;)

    Also managed to accummulate £1 in 20p coins so they all went in the pot along with the £2 coins and a few pence went into the shrapnel tin :D
