            Thank you Sue and Sparky. I promise to be good! :A

            I think I'll put small change in my piggy and set up another jar for 1 and 2 euros and lodge that once a month. It really is addictive!

            Now I must go and update my signature.
            Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
            Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

            Feeling flush for the first time in ages. £4 in tin today. Just got the road tax refund check in. Guy who wrote off my car has done me a favour, got more for it than I was offered a couple of years ago. So egg paid off. Only one unhappy is daughter as she is back to car sharing with me.

            Welcome rigsby1967,
            If you wait a while for Sue_UU to come back online, she will let you have your challenge number, and you will be all official ;). Now for the warning, stay away from reb & gettingbetter, they're a bad influence on people on here, and are often found on the naughty step, for getting out of hand & encouraging people to count their pots :naughty:. You'll find this thread very addictive and the people on here very friendly and supportive, good luck with your target amount :hello:

          5. only £1 in eeyore today but im going out tomorrow night so should have some change from that. iv just been to see mortgage advisor and been told the max we can have is about 5k short of what we need for the house we want (provided we can sell this one ) i have £155 saved so far so a long long long way to go. i really love the house though so unless someone else buys it before we can get a buyer for ours im determined to save it. any ideas anyone.

          8. Hi all - still here and still saving - not a lot but its going in and not coming out - and its still not been counted.

            I have not found any 'Roadkill' for 1 whole week which is really terrible - I am sure there must be a lot of you who live by me and are collecting it all up;)

            Keep motivated everyone and keep saving - not long now till we can open up the pots and count without taking a trip to the naughty step x:D
