    Hi Everyone, just come across this challenge so although late in the year I would like to join I have been putting any small change left over at the end of the day into a Jar and I have my pension on a Monday so anything left on Sunday night goes into the Jar. I just had a pleasant surprise on counting the cash in the jar there was £9.65p thats after 3 weeks so thats my starting figure. If the challenge continues in 2011 I will count whatever I have in the jar as my starting figure for 2011. I am going on a Pontins holiday at the end of May 2011 so hopefully I will have a nice bit of pocket money.
    Low Carb High Fat is the way forward I lost 80 lbs

    Since first using Martins I have saved thousands
