    Wow everyone's putting so much money in their pots! :T

    I'm afraid my rate is much lower, I only put in weekly what most of you put in daily :o But that's my situation, so I don't worry. I also don't spend much on presents or christmas, etc ;)

    DH and I applied for a new loan last night, will cut our debts interest rate by about 2/3 :eek: !!! This will not mean we have more disposable income, it will only mean less monthly spend on the CC :( Situation is not ideal atm, more going out than coming in, even after money-dieting (I am unemployed but do not qualify for any benefits)

    Glad to see everyone's OK. Love this club already! :j

    Melika.

    Just have to say I love your signature, that's gonna be my rule from now on. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. ;) That should help my sealed pot. Might have a bit of copper to go in today, after going to supermarket.

    Well done everyone.:T
