Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello!!

I have been missing in action for some time.......but am still here!!! I see a few more familiar faces have come to play too!

And Guesty!!

I have still been saving pennies here and there whenever I find them, but am still mostly using my debit cards for shopping etc - so never actually seem to have any cash to put in!

Around the same time I started this though, I also started a Sealed Tin for christmas, but I then started doing this online so that it came straight off my wages into a savings account by DD and as I hadnt seen the money I couldnt miss it.

So Im going to transfer what was the start of my sealed pot to my loose change pot and see what I have.

I found 2p when I was digging up the garden the other day and will add that as well as the 19p I have in my purse.

I havent had a total count up yet, but will wait and see and hopefully have something decent (i.e. over £10) which I can pay to a card of some description!!!!!!!!!

You are all doing really well!! x x

£10.58, wahey!

Except there are some pound coins in there and I dont remember putting them in. And I am sure the total has leapt up over the last week. So either there is a penny fairy in my house or OH has been putting something in.

Kinda feel like I have cheated a bit. But never mind, will take it to the bank and pay it off the Halifax card on Tuesday!

its not cheating at all, we all steal money from our families of course they know about it but something that isnt much to them will slowly build up to us. well done on your savings, keep it up!!
