    Thank you for the warm welcome and my number (it should be in my signature below, if I did it right).

    I have no particular target amount in mind, I just want to combine our new tighter budget with hoovering up of random change which just gets spent if left laying around the house :)

    I'm going to make a money box with the children next week and start collecting money then.

    Hi SummerHeat, oh, I do wish you luck with those little ones, they'll have a ball, not sure about you though! ;) Yes, your number's showing up perfectly. No need at all for a target, and the way you're saving it's pretty much the way of the majority of us. All the best with it.

    Very well done Queenriderbrekke, that is some amount.

    Shocking scuba :eek:, your lucky day though eh!!! :D

    Enjoying youself away from it all Caz? Sounds like bliss to me.

    A £5er in the pot for me, I convinced DH he owed it to me....he fell for it too!!! :j

    Hi all

    My first 'proper' post on this thread. Popped £3.50 in change into the pot and eyeing up a big pile of change on OH bedside - Mmmm needs a good home I think!

    Saving for Christmas and have no specific target but would like to use it for Xmas food & wine etc so the more I can save the better:). Can't easily dip into pot as it's one of those tins that you can only open with a tin - opener!

    Have a good BH everyone

    Hi all hope you're all enjoying the Bank Holiday. £1 odd into the pot yesterday, Sue and LC, I like your methods of getting money made me lol. Nice one.

    Sparky, that list is so accurate mate.

    Have a good day.
