    I'm doing it too, so we can both go in the naughty corner :)

    Errrmmm, excuse me ladies... you should both know better than money laundering or whatever. Money is counted once ....and hopefully you're both aware that a naughty bench is already in the naughty room (think prison cell) is prepared and NO nobody will be handing in any biscuits or chocolates, unlike rumours that may have been on the 2nd & 3rd challenges. I'm always on the lookout - be warned! :idea:

    Hi brummiebabe and lovely to see you back again. All the best for this time round.

    But once the money is counted it's ours to do what we like with it :D

    So I'm getting a haircut, a bird, and 97p left over for next time.

  • went on a loose change hunt round the house and have a nice pile to put into my sealed pot when OH finishes painting living room as I am recycling the old paint pot (washed out of course) as my sealed pot.

    Just made a sign for everyone to keep their mits off my pile of money I found!

    Hi Pammy, we really have clocked up some pages, though I think it was roughly the same the last couple of years too. A first flourish if you like. It's good to see people really wanting to save.

    I wish you all the best for a GRAND total next year and hope you can achieve it. Fingers crossed! :)
