    Thanks!

    £8.78 across today, an Amazon payment that I'd forgotten about and had already transferred from my own money into the mortgage pot. So as I wasn't expecting it I decided I didn't need it :)

    Signature updated.

    I think i will leave off the target if thats ok? I always seem to lose momentum when working upwards towards something as it seems so far away (dont want to spend it lol) and im really enjoying watching this grow :D

    More clunks for me after I cashed in my actual sealed pot (naughty I know, but my virtual pot provides interest - unlike the 'real' pot). Up to £117.02 :D

    Great to see all the regulars on thread and new faces appearing too!

    Keep up the good work folks :money:

    yeh, im pretty broke myself, but all my outgoings are covered, if i had the little bits of money in my pocket that im putting in my virtual pots i know i would just spend it on chocolate/magazines and other non-essentials.
    i like you calling it a club, perhaps im not too old for clubbing after all;):D

    ooh, very naughty. iv got two 'real' pots, one for 50p and 20p (which is totally sealed, i have to use a can opener to open), and one for 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p. im thinking of cashing the smaller change one in every so often, it had £11 in it last time. i think these challenges are open to personal adjustments.xx
