    Count her in, there never too young to start money saving, and we do add challenges every so often for children, from things to do inside / outside to helping mum,,,,,,,, xx

    I would like to join too please!:j

    I followed this thread last year but never posted even though I took part in all of the challenges and pinched Sarah's jokes to make a couple of joke books as extras for friend's children.

    My son wants to see this :beer: on the screen which is why there is a random icon on my post!
    ;) The toast proposed at our wedding was for "health, wealth and happiness". Our family may not have the health and wealth but we make up for it with the happiness:D

  • I'd like to join in for 2010. I'm new to the forum (this is my first post!) and I'm moving to France for 18 months so I need to get organised. I was reading the sister thread the other day and getting super excited! Merry Christmas!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Count me in please, each year I say I'm gonna be organised and each year I'm not! I am quite crafty but lack inspiration most of the time! On the upside I've never had to do a Christmas lunch for the family since I left home 17 years ago - I always manage to swing it that we're over someone else for the day ;).
    Banana Lovers
    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning
