Saver 418 reporting in for duty!
A shiny new thread, a shiny new sealed tin and some shiny coins already stuffed through the slot (about £4)
Good luck to everyone over the coming year. Let's get saving :j
Incidentally, last year I said I was saving for Christmas. Well with grateful thanks to good old MSE I've already finished my Christmas shopping, mostly with freebies/bargains found here.
So the money will buy a new television and stand for the lounge as the one we have is almost 20 years old and very much about to breathe it's last gasp.
So thank you to MSE. Without that pot I have no idea what we would have done!Sealed Pot #418 ('09 £414.12) ('10 £550.90) ('11 £440.60)0 -

I shall do my duty of greeting newbies whenever you're not around, and I'm sure Sparky and I will be running our "Road Kill 101" classes again this year. lol.
Stunty.
P.S Target of £600 again this year please Sue.
I'm thinking of keeping a separate jar just for roadkill alongside my sealed pot and see how much i manage to pick up over the year, did quite well this year, heart stopping when you find a note:DMFiT-T7 #17 (Jan 2025) £193k (Apr) £177k (July) £
