    OKay I confess, I opened my pot :doh: it was pretty much full and I knew there was a fair bit in there which I didn't want lying around the house. Anyway, I'd guessed about £100 was there and there was about £200!!!!! I've not paid all of it in, just £180 and kept the rest back in my pot.
    Hopefully my signature has updated properly and I'll still continue to save :D I need another £70 and that'll be Christmas sorted so although I'm a bit annoyed I opened my pot at least I can get some interest on it and it's safely tucked away in my savings account all ready for Crimbo :T

    Now lets have a look at what changed I've got in my purse to carry on clunking.....

    Well, I am off on my Jar holiday tomorrow, and I am delighted to say since last October I saved £673! My share of the Chalet and petrol = £150 leaving me £523 spending money far to much for a weeks holiday Lol. It's a really nice feeling to have more than needed, and no debt. Although it's my money! saving via the jar it feels as though it's a free holiday, and all I did was put my lose change into the jar at the end of the day so on my return I will continue to do so ready for my next Jar holiday.


    Thats brilliant Viv Have a lovely holiday and happy sending.:D
    There's hope for me yet, cant wait to open my tin even more now.;)

    Fabuulous curly33 :D now get cluncking for the grand opening later on. I am sure Sparky will come a long to tell you to back away from the jar:rotfl:but at least you have put the pennies out of harms way.:p

Off work tomorrow and D-Day at fat club again, lets hope its not too bad..I may have gained :( need to get a grip. But should have some pennies for helping out :D

    Have a good day tomorrow. Oh and Sparky hope you enjoyed the ride out and didn't get blown away :p

    Morning everyone
    What's going on? People opening their pots willy nilly, there's going to be trouble when Sue gets back I can tell you. Honestly though well done on managing to save so much for your holiday viv0147 I've PM'd you BTW have a great time. Curly33 well done to you also and I see you've updated your signature for me, thank you. Only another 6 months to go before the grand opening.

    Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday everyone, stay safe and keep saving

    You have been missed. Well done on winning the comp though. I wouldn't know where to start. Its a cheap way of getting away without having too much spends...depending on what you do. :p
