    I haven't posted much but have been filling the pots as I go along.

    I have to confess to breaking into my £2 coin pot on Thurday to pay for a pizza to celebrate becoming debt free:o. The £20 was replaced the next day from my wages.

    I couldn't believe that I had £94 and a £4 Mr T voucher in there and its only March!!!:j I also have a 20p tin and a anything under 20p piggy that I have no idea how much is in.

    I was so chuffed I had to come and share my news with you all.:D

    Just need to get another sealed pot from £stretcher now as I think the fact that I have not been able to 'borrow' from it has helped it build up.

    The spreadsheet does indeed change colour, the totals cells are red at the mo, when people declare the amounts saved and I enter them, the cells turn to green, it also counts the amount of totals declared to save me getting a head ache :D
