No 378 reporting for duty Thanks for allocating me a number again,
opened mine early this year but determined to go the distance in 2010. No specific target, just to fill the pot!

41p today to get me started! xxx

Just plowed my way through this thread to find my number - 777!!! I like it, maybe 2010 is going to be my lucky year!

Put another £5 or so in the jar over the last few days, i want to count it already!

Im using a sealed jar for anything 50p or over and an open pot for 20p or less. I figured if Im desperate then the shrapnel will get me out of trouble but I wont rely on it as Im not going to embarress myself spending any more than a few quid in pennies!

Onwards and upwards! I have no total, just trying to help toward next year

A very warm welcome to the thread Candy (who asked via PM), Sublime, samace and savingmum! It's great to meet you all! 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. If you can put your number on your sig it would be great.

All new Targets have been updated, anyone else wanting theirs done, please ask in a post and I'll be only too glad to put them on.

Heffi1 thanks so much for putting your No on your sig, much appreciated!

Slowly we're getting more totals being declared with others having gone on the old thread today - and well done to them too!!! :T Still plenty more to come yet, and I'm sure a good few have yet to realise the year's up, or have still to find us. Meanwhile, sparky and I continue to bump the reminder thread on the main DFW board So, for now folks, thank you so much for your patience, hopefully it won't be long before a Grand Total can be revealed. Thanks all.

Well done TMD and you're most welcome! Well done to you too urg, great saving!

To Sublime and gilligansyle and anyone else wondering, there's absolutely no need to worry about not keeping to a certain amount regularly, just do what you can!

I do believe I agree with you Paul!! Good to hear you're enjoying saving.

No worries Howlin Wolf, best way to do it.

Hi pink_numbers, your system sounds just fine, but in answer to your question: Last year I saved with all my change going into the one pot, but I've now progressed (as a result of Christmas gifts) to one for each denomination, but I don't think it matters too much how we save, just that we DO!

Marg congratulations on your lottery win, I bet you were chuffed to bits with that much!!

Good to hear Sam! Did I hear a 'hick'!
Have a lovely Sunday everyone - should be dry! Keep safe, healthy and saving!

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