    Hi everyone - Been throwing odd coins in the jars most days but I keep nagging DH to seal the lids. I took £1 out a few days ago :mad:.
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!
  • Can I join too?

    It will be my 42nd birthday the day after this challenge ends. So I want to save for a birthday treat as part of it. :beer:
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    I'm losing it a bit now, and struggling to keep track. I think I have put £1.04 in today. Back to work Monday, so more likely to spend a bit of cash meaning more change for the piggie!

    More a case of being lazy I think Sue, and not writing it down when I pop it in the piggie, but the running total is right so it doesn't matter too much. Hope you have a lovely Sunday too and thanks for all your hard work on here. :A
