    Can I join in on this one please?

    My target is £1000 over the year so that would only be £83.30 a month which is doable for me. Well, I say me. The O/H too so thats only 41.65 each a month =-)
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    My number is 132, 2008's sealed pot ended up being broken into so I could send kids to school other month:o:o Think I have around £4.00 in coppers in there now.

    Anyhow, would like to try again, and have made a special clay pot at college. 'Winter Solstice' I am aiming for £50 as I want to buy an evergreen to plant on the solstice.
    Also made one for 'Lapland' but that's for 2010.

  • Can I join please. I already save coppers and 5p's. My sealed pot will be exclusively for 10's and 20's. I want to save the money for my daughters present next year, so my target is £100. Anything over it will go to overpay! So the more the better!;)
