    I'm registered with Quidco but only have 38p in my bank account ATM (do have cash in pocket though, but nothing spare for the pot).
    SpoonyOh- try not to worry about it you've still got roughly a year!!(unless your saving for something else?:D )
    Everyday is new day, some days you might put a little away, some days you don't have the cash to spare. If you don't have it your pot can't either!!
    What i do is check everywhere in my home(and i've managed to rope people into this challenge with me:rotfl: ), in my mums car and out on the streets if i'm wandering with the dogs. I don't know if this will be much help?:confused:

    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A

    Nothing to add to the pot today but that's good in a way as it means a no spend day :rotfl:

    Also to spoony and getting better, I'm glad I'm not the only one who logs on at 3 in the morning - well it was 3 here, 2am in the UK :D

    Hi

    Can I join, please?

    I'm usually hanging around the OS board but saw that last year's challenge was coming to an end.

    No target - just 'something' in there - and it's an old coffee jar until I can get the papier mache pig going!!! :rotfl:
