Hello all:hello:
Number 345 here,
I have a tin that you have to open with a can opener(for £1 & £2), an eeyore money box (i've taped that shut) and another money box (for anything under 50p)
I know its a bit mad:rotfl: but think of all that money i could be getting!!
AND i've convinced my OH to do it with me, although he's not on here, i will put it down as my savings, if that's okay with everyone??
I'm SO excited to be apart of it this year:j
Well done to all of you who have started saving already!!:T
..xxI 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 :A0 -
