I know its late into the year, but I'd love to join this challenge please. I'm going to round the spare pennies down to a pound each day, and transfer them into my internet saver!

can i join this challenge pleeeeeease!!! i have over £12,000 of debt and i want to save money so at the end of the year i can put it towards a cc or continue into 2010 so i can save and maybe even pay off a loan!!! :T
i have a basic account that currently stands at £0.00!!! :rolleyes:
si i will use this account to transfer money into online and as i will be able to see the balance every time i log on it should give some motivation. thanks

Temptation got the better of me and I opened my pot (well turned it upsode down and shook it til it all came out):rolleyes: but I bagged it up and banked it - all £96 of it and put all the leftover back in:p so seeing as my goal was £150 I should be over that fingers crossed:D Promise I will be good til November and my hols when I will be opening it anyway

Keep forgetting about this thread but my VSP now has around £100 in it so I'm 67% of the way to my target now

Grrr I keep forgetting to post on here and update :mad:

My total now stands at £174.35 after transferring the leftovers before and after payday. I originally wanted at least £200 for holiday spends in September so looks like I'm on-track. Amazing how quickly the pot grows!!

This is a great idea - I can't afford to save much but would like to put some money away for treats, holidays and emergencies. This is also much more convenient than the old fashioned jar of pennies which I never remember to take to the bank!!

After having almost £300 in April im really disapointed to say that I have spent it as we had some huge bills totalling almost £1400 come in at the same time :eek:

I have however, restarted the challenge yesterday and now have a new total of £8.21 :j

Due to having to pay for my weekend trip to Poland later in the year my sealed pot is yet again at £0

I have opened another savings account similar to my house saving account and I have every intention of using this new account as my "Piggy bank".

I hope everyone else is having better luck than me with their sealed pots.
