    Hi, I would like to join too please.

    I will go for a target of £200 as this is my first time!

    Earn £2016 in 2016 - £0.00/£1000

  • Thanks for pointing out the 1st december thing. I was very lazy and did not read the post at the beginning (it was a very long post). I'm trying to start a lot of my family etc that do not visit this site on the sealed pot for christmas thing this year. They are complaining at how this christmas cost too much, hopefully they will fill the pots i've bought for them and next year will be paid for without the fuss of loaning from nasty banks.

    Wow there really are a lot of new members around here! Welcome to you all! I've had a good Christmas, been working mainly but it's been nice to just chill for a couple of days! Been adding a lot to the pot, would be interested to count it all up in a couple of days just to see how much I've been able to stash away in a month and then try for the same every month!

    going to tesco tomorrow, but I'll be paying on my tesco credit card, so no extra change from there, however, I have seen a couple of pence lying on the floor of my bf's room in his house, they've been in the same places for weeks....I think I may have to do a bit of 'tidying up' for him & pop those 3 1 pence pieces into a safe place!
  • Yay, my OH is a good'en! He emptied his pockets into my tin without me even having to ask! That's another few quid!
