    I'm hoping the total amount would frighten a banker :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sparky - I think the amount I'm managing to save would frighten the banker, and not in a good way :rotfl:, luckily for me my piddling amount with be obscurred by everybody elses, mwah hah hah, (that's supposed to be a devilish laugh!)

    Hi everyone :) all doing great on your savings. Only adding 30p to my pot yesterday.

    What's with the 'only' :rotfl:, 30p is a massive amount when you haven't got anything to put in the pot,(trust me I know) positive vibes being sent your wayyyyyyyy...................now.......:T

    Helenjelly - the Blackberry/Raspberry Vodka recipe sounds great, nice 'n' easy. I don't drink alcohol myself, but I think these would make great gifts, especially with a nice handwritten tag on the bottle neck with instructions on how the recipient could do it themselves in the future. Hmmmmmmm, am getting Christmas ideas.

    Well done jacki981, Greenbynature and Lost2 for putting something into your pots.

    Have a good one.

    Toodles.

    And a pat on the back for Kerfuffle for finally figuring out how to do multi-quotes.

    debt money starting in my nice
    shiny new tin :D

    one of the guys that i work with asked me
    to take some of his change last night
    as he was low on notes
    and gave me £20 of £2 coins
    knowing full well i wont spend them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    everyone is doing great

    is there gonna be a bit of a comp
    to see if anyone can guess the overall total
    of all we have saved

    we could all pm sparky with our guesses and
    the right answer gets a pat on the back :beer:

    Kerfuffle - I've used Blackberries that we picked and whoopsied raspberries and the very cheapest vodka I could find. I think using them as Xmas pressies is a great idea and I think I'm gonna do that aswell

    Hi JS,
    Put the pot down and step away, just over 3 months to go, and you have to post up how much you've saved, so I can add it to the grand total. :D

  • Vodka recipe sounds great!! Thanks Helen!!:beer:

    Just a lonely 5p roadkill in the tin for me today, purse is completely empty and I'm resisting the cash machine for as long as I can - once I get it out it just seems to disappear into thin air!x
