    Hi all - glad to see so many doing so well! :)

    Apologies for not posting here for what seems like ages now - wow, just checked back and not posted since 14th of March!!

    So, in that time (almost two months - how lazy have I been!) I've still been skimming my bank account and have added a further £101.35 to my sealed pot :D

    This brings the current total for VSP member #25 to £323.67

    Very happy with that amount - well on the way to my goal of £500 - and still over six months to go! :D
    My posts are my own opinions based on my experiences and info gathered from sites such as this.
    They are not a substitute for professional financial advice - but you knew that already didn't you? ;)
    VSP 2011 - Member #25 - Started 6th December 2010 - Total As Of 4th May 2011 (21 weeks in!) - £323.67/£500 - So far so good!

    Hi Minnie2 I am sure it all gets counted up for the grand total in the end but Sue is back :D and I am sure she will put you right. But well done anyway for what you have managed to pot so far. ;)

    Daisy where are you????

    I will be back later with my pot/pots for the day. Going for a coffee with my lovely friend in a little while, but washing to put out. Love washing but the ironng pile is growing and growing :eek:
    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    TTFN ;)

    Hi Minnie
    I generally go by what is in the virtual pot at the time so I have adjusted your total to £16.30
