    I've not put any money in today, but only cos I haven't spent any. Went to a BBQ in the park and as we were the last to leave and some people didn't take home the stuff they had brought that wasn't used so we've inherited several cartons of juice, a bottle of fizzy pop and a packet of burgers! Result!

    Great stuff! :beer: you might not have any more change but that sounds like you saved afew pounds there from those freebies.

    Welcome everyone else :) these challenges are so addictive, its like pringles once you start you cant stop :D

    Yeah, it's great isn't it! I love getting free stuff! I like the Pringles thing, that's good! It is like that, I keep trying to find change and I always want to count how much I've got in the little money pouch I'm saving in.

    Welcome Jellie and Lesley and Jo

    I was really impressed Lesley by how much you've saved so far. It's fine you've spent it, that's what it's there for. It's far better to use that than stick it on a CC or something. How long did it take to save that much?

    Morning all! Been out already, went to pick the car up from the garage. The radiator had a hole in it, so that's another £200 gone!
    On the way back I succumbed to the dreaded chocolate, which means I have a couple of quid to put in my pot. Going to have a nice chocolate feast later! I think I'm an addict!

    I'd like to join as well please. I have got a money box in my top drawer at work which I always put loose change into. I don't know how much is in it yet though.

    Focus, well done on not spending. Hope your diet goes well too. WW do some great low fat cakes which help me with my cravings, they are sooooo nice and very chocolatey. Are you allowed those on your diet?
    You’re right about the car, unfortunately we live in a village and both use our vehicles for work so we have to keep it. It’s a pain in the bank account!

    Hi Tinka, welcome along, well done for saving your change.

    Well done Busterollie, you are doing really well
