    Confession :(

    I opened my pot - i was seeing if i had enough to use for a deposit for a holiday next year - i worked out all of my money, and i dont have enough time to save for the rest of the payments etc so im not going.

    Sooooooooooooo i was a good girl and sealed my pot again (with half a roll of cellotape) and im back on the wagon, the rest of the year until opening day will be spent continuing to save - i will not give in again :D

    Well ........................... ill try not to anyways

    Hope everyone finds some road change today :)

    Hi there everyone!! :wave:I'm back from a great week in Brittany where the weather was great.:D Only one wet afternoon and a wet journey to the port when we were coming home. Totally different from over here apparently! Hope you've all been saving well. I've kept almost 50 Euros until another time we go abroad, also just put change of around £6 in the pot.

    Good to see you had a good holiday LC, lucky with the Euro pick up too, great stuff!
    Well done Shelley, what a blessing with the carpet and saving on the leccy bill!!:T

    Hiya Stunty. I was so pleased to hear Mrs S to B's dad is making slow progress after his stroke. A hard time for all the family, I wish you well and esp Mrs S to B.


    Good for you Puzzled...I think! :confused:;)

    Have a great though wet Tuesday all, be happy and save!

    10p for me and 2p for dd's pot (she found it on the floor)

    i think we've got a future mse-er. she loves putting money in her money box. she will even ask me to open it and empty it out so she can put it all back.

  • hi everyone just back from our week in italy the dolomites are breathtaking, venice is very very hot, lake garda is beautiful and the whole of italy is EXPENSIVE. usually i have money to bring home as i always over estimate what we will spend as im terified of running out of money but this time iv only brought back 5 euros in small change. iv put some (english) change in eeyore but not sure how much think it was about £1.60, then £60 went in house fund and i might have some more change later. hope everyone is well.

    Hey folks - Just emptied out most of my little change jar - and am going to aim to save up for my camping holiday for next year! So am thinking of setting myself a target of 100 quid into my pennies jar. Do i have to empty it in December though? Or can i just keep going til May when i (hope to!) go camping?
