    Can anyone join this challenge, or do you have to start at the beginning of the year ?

    Love the paper mache 'Cash Cows', I have to get the children making them next week at half term, whether we do this challenge or not. :)

    Welcome aboard summerheat, Sueuu will be about later to issue you with your number, I'm sure you've worked out by now that mostly we're a bit nuts in here, but we enjoy ourselves.

    Found a few small shiney bits of road kill today so they're safely clanking in my bottle. Def less in it this year than there was this time last year though, I guess my mse not spending habits are hitting me in the bottle this time around - instead of the other way around.

    Hi all! Can i join please? I know it's a bit late in the game :o but i figure to start saving now for christmas is better than not starting to save at all! ;)

    I've got an old coffee pot that we can use for our sealed pot so we're sorted in that respect :D My aim is to have £150 by the end of the challenge :) xx

    Welcome along Beki,

    Sue I'm actually quite content to have a fairly empty bottle - it means more of my money has stayed in my bank account this year! Admittedly if I do manage to change jobs I fully intend to save more in the bottle but for the time being a semi empty bottle is fine by me.
