Can I please join in. I got one of those electronic money boxes which counts your change as you put it in just before Christmas. Have to say I am addicted at putting all my loose change in it. At the minute I don't spend very much so try and use bigger value coins to get more change...lol...

I don't put anything bigger than a 50p in...and they are rare...so it is mostly coppers and small silver.

Oh, would like to set a target of £250....:D

Hi all, I've officially started my sealed pot challenge with £8 and some shrapnel. Was originally due to start with a shiney £20 note but couldn't afford it but hope to do so at some point. I put in a £5 note instead.

My aim is to fill the jar with £2 coins and 50ps by mid-December. Hopefully that will work even though my spending will be cut back a lot this year so I can work on my debt reduction some more. Wish me luck!

Hi and welcome to the thread Flickering Ember, cookie220985, caroline78, and loopychriss, lovely to meet you. Enjoy yourselves with us and have great fun saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. If you haven't already done so then read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries and let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please put your number on your sig, it helps so very much.

Cookie220985, there is no such thing as "a shameful 20p" either to start your pot off with or at any other time. Anything and everything you can save is GREAT!!! Be happy with the lot!!

Same as above for you k8h89 with "a measly 10p"! That saved every day of the year would be pretty good and better than nowt!!

A very Happy New Year to you also Hales, everyone else too!!:j

You go careful for Heaven's sake Lookingtothefuture!! You might come home from the sales with more than you'd bargained for....via a stop or two on the way!!! :eek:
That's ok then tootifrooti, just as I guessed. Having said that I do normally always keep space in there, shall have to make sure I do in future.:o

Good to see the money being saved everyone. :T Over the last few days my DH has given me £4.11and I'm chuffed to bits with it!! :kisses3:

Sue New friends wishing to join us, please just ask below and I'll be with you ASAP.
