    My son has Autism and a Speech delay, Dyspraxia is apparently quite common in children on the Autistic Spectrum :)

    I had no idea of that frasersmum, understandable though, when you think about it. Amazing just what some can achieve through life too, all credit to them, to their loved ones too, quite naturally. ;)

  • Some great totals everyone, well done on your saving! :T

    I have just reached my target of £150 for the year by adding the £10 cheque from walkers for predicting the weather. The rest has been made up of anything below 50p. My total for the year is £150.52!! :) Which i'm really pleased with.
    Next year (starting tomorrow - I'll be adding all coins and any notes, so hoping I can reach a higher total. My aim is for £200+ (tho hoping for more than 250) :)

    Hi all!!

    My total for this year is £252.57so beat last year's total by £131.62! Did this mainly by saving 1p 2p 5p and £2s (not in £2 savers club). Looking forward to seeing the grand total!

    :j

    P.S. Sue, could you please count me out of the challenge for 2011. I will still be saving in a similar manner but I have a really tough year coming up next year and I know I will have to dip into the pot more than once so that kind of defeats the purpose of it being a "sealed pot". I might come back next year when things improve. Thank you very much for having me xx

    Well done to you, chopsuey229!!!:T:T Brilliant that you got a tenner from Walker's too, Lionel will be so happy for you, Gary too!!! :rotfl::rotfl: :D it's so good to see folk so happy with what they've saved and you certainly are. BTW, would you like me to put the £200 + on as your Target??

    Hi girlatplay and VERY well done on your total, you really did so well in breaking over last year's by such a wonderful amount!!!! :T:T

    With regard to me taking your name off the list: Why don't I leave it there then if you're able to save anything, fair enough, but if not it doesn't matter and you're there for whenever you're ready. A lot of people are going to be in your position thanks to the PM and his great ideas :(, so stick with us - as and when you can! All the very best for next year.

    The truth is that we just don't know! He hasn't answered any PMs so we're just left not knowing if he'll be back or not. :( I'd love to think he will be and certainly won't discount him, but....

    We'll see.
