    sorry about the long serious reponse its not usually my scene but serious where and when its due

    good luck all my love darcy
    you cant change yesterday
    but you can make tomorrow better
  • OK, Newbie here! *waves*

    Can you count me in please :D

    We have tried the pot/tins/jars etc savings for a long time, but always seem to break into them at the end of the week/month etc. Therefore our plan is to save what pennies/pounds we can every day, put them in the pot and weekly give the change to my Mom to put in the "master pot" (as she has our girls after school one day a week). I don't know whether this is classed as cheating or a cop out but at least that way we can't really dip into it as and when.

    I know we wont be able to save hundreds each month but I am hoping for maybe £200 by Christmas, and any more will be a bonus. :P

    Good luck to the rest of you xx
