  • Not posted on here for a while. Have lost count already with whats in my sealed pot. There are notes as well as coin that I do know, all my tips from xmas went into it, and loose change every so often since the New Year too. Thinking there will be at least £100 so far but will wait and see. Good luck everyone with this mission!!

    I have attached a bit of paper on which I write the date and the amount added and the total once the new has gone in; that way I shouldnt lose track (as long as I remember to keep writing it down that is!)

    Hi DB,
    If you do, can you keep a tab on how much you pay towards your CC bill, at the end of the day it all goes towards the grand total at the end of the challenge ;)

    Thanks hun

    Hi Everyone,

    £4 in my pot today. It took me 45mins on the telephone regarding sorting out my online self assesment tax :eek: Now have to wait for a letter. This year I will do it in June. Think I said that last year:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    My savings haven't been so good up to now but hopefully once January is over things will pick up.

    Kas Are you still on that naughty chair?:rotfl::rotfl:

    Try and keep well everyone

    Poor & Starnac always label the food you put into the freezer & remember to put a date on it, some foods only last for a short time in there x

    Cheers hun, there is just one hiccup........ I just am not that sort of person I am afraid :confused:, I go for the defrost it and if it looks, smells and tastes OK it is OK rule instead, even with dates on I would probably chance it :o

    BUT fortunately I have a stomach of iron so have only ever once got ill from food, and that wasn't cooked by me! I count myself lucky, I know some people that are always getting ill from food.

    Will probbaly come a cropper one day - lol
