Note Savers Challenge

Hiya everyone hope you are all well.

I am starting a note savers challenge for us all to save notes 5,10,20,50 for something special like a holiday or car,house or even save for fun!

As im saving for a car myself and need all the notes i can save. and ive started by putting my birthday money into my Notes jar. Even if its 5.00 a week it all adds up!

So whos in? Will put your name & entry number onto this post. Let me know your aim and when you wish to bank.

  • Hey missessex,

    I think you might struggle on this one as most people on this section of the board are on quite tight budgets and while odd change, £1's and £2's arent always missed i think those would be missed.

    Yeah i was kinda thinking that... Reason i wanted to start it as i had birthday money about 80 quids worth and wanted to save it. Perhaps i could chnage it up into coins and put it into my pots?

    You could always put your notes in your sealed pot (I did this with some birthday money in July) and you will have a nice total next December:D
