    Evening all :hello:

    I've potted £3.04 today, £2 saved on parking cos I went in the free bay in last pog :D and also £1 saved cos I was going to buy some naughty food at lunch time and my Mum bought me prawns instead ;-) and 4p cos it was just sat in my purse on it's own :D

    £1.05 in there for me today, still have 2x 50ps but have kept them in purse incase its needed at work, hopefully wont spend it though tomorrow so I can add it tomorrow evening. Aiming to put at least £2.50 in this week so I hit my £100 target for January :beer:

    Looking forward to starting to get proper wage from my new job so I can put a bit more away each week :D

    Morning Sue & LC2
    So looking forward to this trip, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time and the good thing is with all the overtime I've been doing lately I've managed to pay cash for it, I did pay by CC but I get points on the card, this morning I've paid the lot back to the CC, so I'm in a win win situation, a couple of years ago it just would have gone onto the CC without thinking about it. There's a lot to be said about Martin Lewis & MSE :T


    Good for you Sparky it must be a great feeling.:TEnjoy every minute, you have worked hard enough it seems and it will be all the sweeter because you dont owe anything to the cc.;)

    Morning (it's lovely here!)

    Started out with this challenge hoping I could put a pound coin plus my purse change in every day. Maybe that was a bit too optimistic for me this month due to erratic wage payments etc, but on the plus side, have had a good few pennies from roadkill ( living beside a school helps I think), and I have put in all the coppery ones, just no pounds and few silver coin. I am going to try much harder in February because the wages thing is sorted out, and I will be working double the hours I have been so plenty of potential there. Wish me luck! C


    Good Luck claudiac. Big all small we are all heading the same way..to save something by 1st Dec. It all adds up.

    :D:D
