    Welcome to all of you! Good to have you join us! Please keep us updated on how you're getting on!

    For me it was a 50p today, bit disappointing after my run of pounds but better than nothing. My NSD's are running short though... Somehow managed to spend a lot today but it was on birthday goodies for my dad which I hope is ok?! Supposed to be saving and clearing CCs but sometimes life gets inthe way.

    I was wondering if it would help for me to list everyone joining in with their end of month totals? What do you think?

    Hi

    I am quite new and I am just trying to sort everything out. I would like to join you, if that's ok?

    I have just looked in my purse and found 2 £2, a 50p and some 2's & 1's :)

    I'm going to save the £2 separate like others do and use these for Christmas maybe? but I have put the 50p onto a pot for this and the other bits into another pot.

    I don't come on here everyday so might have to update in 3/4 day chunks if that is ok?

    Just 20p for me today - am worried that the the pound coins will intimidate it :cool:

    I'm on 20p today as well... well done though! I always find it easier to spend those so I'm having to exert a lot of will power! :p
