[Quote=[/B]Decluttering]Good idea, maybe not a car but I might start to be a bit impatient for driving lessons. Just looked up the cost :eek: there is no way I'm going to have that in my pot but it can go towards the cost if I don't think of a more realistic goal.[/Quote]
Apologies Decluttering, I didn't mean for you to be able to save for a car as such, but to put what you save towards a car. Sorry, I wasn't too clear, I se that now.
Well done Blakesmummy, that's good going!
WOW Applecider, that's a very good amount - maybe they thought of you and Christmas, bless em! BTW, you asked how my savings were going tother day, and.......I had £50 from YouGov for surveys!!! Talk about thrilled to bits!!! :j:j I was darn happy, I can tell ya!Yes, it's in a non-note pot waiting!
Sparky's got a spreadsheet already for Wednesday...it has whistles, bells an all on!! Or....so he says. :idea:
By the way folks, as I said on the previous page: If people need to count their savings before Wednesday, then I can understand it, but it would be really kind of you if you'll all leave putting it on til Wednesday. It'll be better for sparky and I, but especially sparks, who's working! Thanks a lot folks, you're a really great bunch!
Right then everyone...it'll not be long now - just just 3 days left!

Can I be added please. I really want to join this year myself.
I mentioned this to my 9 year old last year and he wanted to do it so I got him a tin for 59p and thought he would forget all about it to be honest.
He has been putting in money he has found on the street during the year, he asked me to give him any I found too. He has kept it up and would not let anyone put money in if it had not been found on the street.
I will be opening it for him on Wednesday so that he can use it to buy his present for me and his dad and he is really excited about it.Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.0 -

Thanks Sue. I have been sick - sick of work!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It's been keeping me busy - and off work.
I counted up all of the golden coins in my piggy wig - and will be beating last year's total...no idea by how much though as I have to empty the terramundi. I've run out of bags, so I'll bank some tomorrow and pick up more. I'm going to be using the money to pay some off my credit card in the short term, but add it to the ISA after Christmas:A For use on my next adventure next September:D
No snow here at the moment, I'm off to afternoon tea with a good friend later. Hungry already:o:o:oSave me from spending...
