Thanks slowlyfading and Palema! We've decided to get married before buying a house because both of our careers are a bit up in the air at the moment! But that's still a couple of years off! The sealed pots are definitely going to come in handy now!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

Hi all,
I'm going to try this challenge as of this Friday - hoping it will make up a little contingency pot of dosh alongside my attempts to live frugally and maybe earn a little extra cash eventually from freelancing etc when I have the time. No specific target, just looking forward to seeing those pennies creeping up!MFW start date:22.6.13 - £138555 9.7.13 - £125937

Hello Palema can I join too please..really like the simple idea..
Think I will also add in my £2 coin stash to this on a weekly basis and try and combine the savings. I so love collecting what I still think of as being special chocolate money!

Instead of having a savings account I will make an extra payment to the credit card that I'm trying to clear in 2011. I probably won't start until Jan though as I'm off on my Christmas holls from next week (My pet rat is most unimpressed that I'm leaving him with a house sitter over Christmas and is doing his best to make me feel guilty)hattifattener wrote: »Hi all,

Hi Amatheya81, hattifattener and brizzledfw
Welcome aboard
Good luck with the savings.
You don't have to put up your totals on a Friday, it's just some do find it easier to have a day each week that they transfer. If you do transfer any money just pop a post on here and I will add it to your total
Happy Savings
