  • Used some Christmas money to buy two sealed pots, one for me and for my husband. Christened mine with £1.50 and my husband has taken his back up with him for during the week.

    We have a separate pot for coppers and five pence pieces, which is coming along very well. Raided my husbands wallet for coppers when he came back for the weekend. All good :j

    There should be a preview sig button at the bottom,hit that and it will show you what it's like before you save it.

    If you want to change it,I'd clear it all off,start a fresh then add a line at a time,make your changes Ie colour,font etc then click preview.
    If you like it,click save then move onto the next bit.

    It may seem abit long winded but this is the easiest method I have found:).

    Found the ploblem if I go on my iPad it's all wrong and if I go on my lap top it's all ok must be the setting on iPad.(bought the iPad with the all penny's that I saved last year :smiley)

    That's very good going!!:D:money:

    I've been keeping at it with my £1 per day which I think has been quite easy. Went clothes shopping on Friday and paid for everything with notes. My purse was almost bursting at the seams when I came home from all the change so that all went in. Not sure how much it was but there were 2 or 3 £2 coins and at least £10 worth of £1 so it's going well!:j:j

    yay, thanks for letting me join :) I'm just waiting for my number but that hasn't stopped me dropping 2.88 into my sealed box - I am determined to stop anyone raiding it unless it's a proper emergency !
