  • I hope I'm not to late, please could i be added to the list. I bought a 'Pot of Dreams' yesterday from Clintons and have started the challenge already by putting in 1x £1 and 2x 50p's. I'm only going to put in £1's and 50p's and hope to save about £500.

    Thanksx

    About £2.85 added to the pots yesterday. DH is really on board with this challenge and has begun emptying his own pockets into the tins so I don't need to rummage through them when he leaves his jeans on the floor;)

    Happy New Year Everyone!

  • Hi all, finally counted the pot - had £17 45 in there and £10 already used! So have treated myself to Sting's new cd/dvd - will try to do better this year - only put in small shrapnel as we are on a tight budget and the copper goes into a separate pot for the Children's Society and Christingle - had about £4 in there this year! so started new pot with £1.45 and banked £16.
    Sealed Pot 617 - target £150 only managed £27 in 2009!
  • Can I join? Every penny counts so this will help.
