    Hi,

    Everyone. I have just been reading through the post and really excited about this challenge.

    I would love to join and am aiming to save £350. This morning I ran around the house collecting all of the spare change that I have lying around and some of the foreign notes that I have shoved to one side. The grand total came to just over £100.

    Good luck everyone.
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.

    Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.
    Aiming to be debt free by December 2016:D

    I put about £3 in my pot this morning.
    Every Sunday I tip all the coins out of my purse and put half into the pot, keeping the other half in my purse. Also, if I end up with a lot of coins mid-week, I just grab a random handful and put them in the pot!

    I save 1p, 2p, 20p and £2 separately already. The 20ps and £2 are paying for my car tax at the end of this month!
    Because it's fun to have money!

    January-June 2019 = £356.94/£420

    I didn't put any change in Terry yesterday as I didnt get round to emptying out my old handbags (I fear they might be a health hazard by now).

    I was supposed to get myself back into my routine today in preparation for going back to work... but I didn't get to bed until gone 2 and then got up at 10!! wooops! So I will be going for a long walk this afternoon to tire myself out nice and early!

    Will be looking for a bit of roadkill whilst I am out!
