    Followed the thread all last year and had my own sealed pot (though it wasn't sealed only I didn't open it apart from taking £140 out to put in my ISA before last April):Aand had a lovely surprise to count out over £250 for my Christmas shopping.:j
    I'll put a wish to save £300 for this year.:beer:

    A warm welcome aboard tinah, it's great to meet you. :D Very well done with your last year's total, you did very well!!! Enjoy yourself and have great fun saving. You'll find your number 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. If you can put your number on your sig it would be great.

    Hi again gilligan I've no idea what happened to yours yesterday, as I even remeber coming back here to check it was syle at the end and not style! Still, you're on there now for certain! Apologies for the delay. :D

    Updates for phantom, starnac and tinah have all been seen to.

    You're too darned impatient Hales that's your trouble! ;) You'll have better luck this year starnac, it makes a real difference to go the full year.

    Back in a short while everyone, be good and save well! :j

    Nothing added to my freshly emptied bottle yet, but am off to London this weekend so will no doubt be coming home with a handbag full of change after being in the pub Saturday night!

  • Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately I ended up having to pull out of this one again this year but am determined to have another go this year.

    Well done to those that completed the challenge and good luck to those that are partaking in the new one.
