    wow what a fantastic idea. I found an old savings account with barclays that had 29p in it, I didnt even realise i could transfer money into it:rotfl:.

    Im saving here there and everywhere now. i have a sealed pot and anything in my purse goes into it, i have my current acount, i have an ing direct account with monthly savings going in and now i have another savings account.

    I want to pay my fees for uni in september as thats the only debt i have.

    thanks for starting this thread.:T
    Comping for christmas x
    Thankyou to all posters:D

  • Hello I hope its not too late for you to count me in!

    I've got a couple of jars full of change that I've been meaning to take into the bank for months, so now this gives me a reason. My savings account has been lying around not doing much for a while as well. I'm not sure what I'm saving for, possibly my holiday in September, I'm sure I'll think of something :D


    All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person... :D:p
