    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!!

    Haven't been on here for a while. I've been busy trying to raise money, we need a new driveshaft and front brakes for the car. I know, I could hear you all go, "ouch"...Well sickened :mad:...Nevermind it could be worse, the engine could blow :eek:, I'm touching wood as we speak - better not tempt fate :D.
    Hope everyone else is okay, and had good day hunting the coins :beer:.

    Take care and hope to see you here again soon;)

    I'm going to join in I think!

    I don't have a big aim - I want to raise £100 by the end of October - but as I don't use much cash I don't often get to add money in. Very occasionally I'll dip in to get change for parking, but I'm pleased that I haven't totally raided it!

    Since January I have accumulated £52.95 :D

  • Evening everyone,

    £2 coin potted for me too.

    Have been a bit obsessed with ebay this weekend making most of free listings. It takes me a while to do stuff as I am still wearing my 'L Plates'. Cannot believe I got so excited earlier when I sold an item for 99p :j I'm really easily pleased these days.

    Oh well hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

    Night Night
