    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.;)

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.

    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
