    Can't wait to find out what a year's worth of schrapnel amounts to!

    Hello! Can I join please? Not done it before so got to find myself a sealed pot. I have a little tub with some money in which I usually keep topped up for DS's street dancing every week, but would love the challenge of saving a bit every week without touching it!

    Last year my mum started putting £1 a week into a money box each for my DS and DD, and this Christmas they're getting £50 each from her!

    I'd like to set a target of £100, but will see how I go. Any tips on where to find a sealed pot? We don't have a poundland near here, although I may have a lidless coffee jar in the recycling box outside! I'm sure I could improvise a lid.

    do you have a 99p store? they have the same thing. I was thinking of using my ragu jars and just puting either some material with an elastic band or some card with a slit in it.
