Very well done bookadict!!! but...now stand right away from it and resist that temptation!!! :whistle:....Good to see you put the money away kittikins - though be careful not to spend it allin other ways - well til Christmas!!I do hope your little girl really enjoyed her first real ballet, it's magical for them on that first time.:) .......You have something marvellous to save for Glenda! By intending to go to Australia for as long as you can afford, I take it that does mean going for a holiday? Marg, good luck with your dream ...and may it come true! Pips Mum, those are great ways to 'spend' your savings!:A ratty, you just let me know IF you do decide to change, any time is fine by me as it makes no difference.....PAI Denial, I promise you you're not alone (!!), but whatever we get is better in our pots than not saved!:j ...Ah jpwhittle, you're little lad always makes me smile, dear little fellar, he's being brought up to save money, we can't argue with that!:D.....Puzzled, that makes perfect sense, a darn good idea too!:A ....Well saved Miss P!!!


Well done everyone, another really good day's saving, it's a pleasure to see the happiness.

I am getting one of those counting jars for Christmas I believe you can open it so i may use it for something else or put lots of selotape on it.

Glenda

yeah you can open it, but as soon as i unscrew the lid on mine it asks how much are you withdrawing?

luckily i haven't felt the need/urge to dip into...yet.
Wait till the week before payday and ask me again lol!

junior_j

Emptied purse of shrapnel yesterday and had about 5€ so added to the pot. :j

Having decided to move to cash I was horrified to go through the weekly food/household budget in about 3 days and not have bought any food :rotfl: It's going on things like stamps plus I got loads of 2€ for that challenge and I have to keep some change back to buy the calendars from the postie and the fire service (their Christmas boxes). I had to dip into this weeks budget to buy some bread on Saturday but hopefully it will even out. At least I'm realising how much is being spent.
