  • Hello all :) What with the snow causing chaos, a conference to organise at work and assignments starting on my course... my hopes of rounding down every day proved slightly optimistic.

    So seeing as I joined this challenge on a Thursday... that shall be my weekly rounding down day plus I will add any interest from the savings that goes into my current account (I have no idea why they do that?!) and any Quidco as and when they occur.

    Everyone is doing very well with their figures :) This will be my "bottom drawer" fund I think... for buying goodies ready for a house.

    Me as well. I was really peed off that I didn't spend any money from my account at the weekend. I didn't go out on Sunday but did consider going to the nearest shop that accepted my card just so I would have an amount to move on Monday. Hopefully I will have an odd amount to move the week:D

    I think we should all blame Spam Jam for this obsession:D :p

    I have a water cooler bottle half full on change that I was considering taking to one of those change machines in supermarkets. I would then have transferred the money I got to my virtual pot. BUT that would have meant getting dressed on Sunday to go to the supermarket ( i often go to the drive through McD's in my PJ's but I draw the line at going to the supermarket in them):rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm very obsessed but I'lve got a huge target to reach! BTW SpamJam I think I will actually hit my target quite easily now (if O2 EVER send me my cheque!) so I might revise it again, but will let you know.
