    Hi All

    Just counted my jar and i now have £17.45.

    could have been more but hubby occasionally dips into it when he needs change for the car park at connors tae kwon do.

    oh well isuppose its better than getting a tenner out the bank and buying something to get change and then have him end up spending the £10 on nothing. :)

    How is everyone getting on? I've not added anything to my pot for ages as haven't had any money to get change from! Hope you are all well and working hard, I'm working incredibly hard for some craft fairs I've got coming up over the summer, need to build up my stock

    Hi verynewmoneysaver, welcome to the thread! It's a bit quiet around here at the moment, I think everyone is a bit skint at the mo, so they aren't spending any money and arent getting any change for the challenge. But stick with us, we are a friendly bunch.
    Let us know how much you have banked and I will add the total next to your name on the first post - you are already on there from when you asked to join before.

    How is everyone at the moment? Have a good weekend, I'm really looking forward to it.

    Hi Jane, welcome to the thread. It's a bit quiet around here at the moment, I think everyone is struggling to get any change, we are all a bit skint and not spending any money! I know that's why I've not been posting much, haven't added to my pot. Anyway, hopefully lots of people will come and welcome you, and it's lovely having you joining in. It's great you've got specific targets to reach, that will encourage you when you see yourself paying off those debts. In fact, I might join you in setting such specific goals, what a great idea!

    EVERYONE: It would be good if you could post just to let us know you are ok, even if you haven't been able to save any change lately. We want to keep this thread going for when we do have change, so please post! We can all encourage each other and keep each other going!
