    Thanks everyone for all the positive saving vibes going on. :)

    Just tipped £5.30 in my sealed pot, so feeling good. Think I've set my target too low. Would it be possible to change to £250?

    thanks Sparky0107 for info regarding sue and for continuing to hold the fort. :beer:

    sorry not much added recently as I've not been anywhere to spend anything, which i suppose it's a good thing, if not a little boring lol.

    however I've put loads of items on ebay and already seeing results :D.

    22p left over from lunch going straight in the pot.

    Total now £20.41.
    Emergency fund saved, we did it!!

    :wave: Hello my fellow potters.

    Hope your all having a fab weekend. It looks like the weather has been good to us today :D even though I have been at work.

    Fed Rosie £1.53 today. £1 lurking in my purse and change from picking up a couple of bits at Mr T's.

    One more day then I am off for four days not that I am counting. Its been a long week, feeling tired.

    Enjoy the rest of the evening folks and tomorrow. ;)

    TTFN xx

  • Hi

    I would love to join this challenge and look forward to opening my sealed pot for next christmas. Every year i say i will put a little by each week for christmas and never do - but this year is all about change, all about clearing debt and making sure that me, my husband and little boy have a fab christmas this year for the first time in 5 years!!!

    Many thanks for encouraging me to get started!!
