  • evening all, another pound in the tin today, £12/365
  • I'm still keeping at it religously adding my £1.50 a day. I did think, at the end of last week, that I was going to have to use it as I got in a bit of a mess with my account but I'd underestimated how much was left in the bank so, so far, the savings are still intact.

    2 weeks until payday so fingers crossed that I can make the money in the bank last but I might have to 'owe' to my savings until payday.:o

    Another £1+ odd added today to be ahead of the game. Last years total of £420 is the target. As yet no idea what the money will be for but I can feel a new laptop coming on!!!

    Best of luck everyone and I look forward to posting often.
