    Hi everyone :)

    I don't tend to post on this thread much, but I've been very good with putting all my change (50p and smaller) into my little sealed pot. It has a digital counter on the top though, so no surprise for me in December, but it definately does motivate me when I see the ammount creeping up!

    Anyway, just popped in today to say that I have now officially crossed the £100 mark!! :j :j

    £100.78 to be exact lol

    Can't believe how excited I am about it lol :p OH put the change in last night to bring it up to that total and I was literally jumping with joy heehee

    Anyways, just thought I'd share my excitement :D I'll be back soon hopefully when I reach £125 and I'll be really excited as that'll be me halfway to my target! :T
