hi all

will update list when i get a min.

i'm failing miserably already as am using last years money as my spends for next few months - putting the £100 I normally give 'me' and £150 'household' onto the credit cards instead (makes sense in my head)....... as such i hate actually spending the money!!!

It also feels like cheating to take say £7 out my purse and put in pot as that is where it came from originally IYSWIM?!

So I think I may put in £30 (give or take) a month and then as and when i remember give DS some £1s to put in....... if i keep ticking it off on my calender I'll still stay on track.

:rotfl:OMG that's so something I'd say.... makes total sense to me!

re adding me to the list... Can I please be added for £365 in 365 only (I think the 2nd tin may fall by the wayside and think I'll probably end up turning it into a "loose change sealed tin" or similar). Thanks!

I ordered two sizes of dress from ASOS but neither fit! So I've sent them back and put the money into my savings account instead!

Arrrrrrggggghhhhh, I've run out of change! £20 note in purse but really don't want to put it in the tin (I start to raid if I know there's notes in there)!

My IOU has been started!

Trying for NSDs on Mon, Tues & Wed (have lunches etc) so the IOU may grow!

I've just opened a bank a/c to transfer £31 into on payday each month or set up a DD/SO so I don't forget and then get the nice surprise of £365 in 12mths time. I decided on this as I have change pots already upstairs and decided to make a virtual one instead this time (is really real though!)

So far so good for me...quite surprised!! £14 in my pot and £2 in my 'virtual' pot because I haven't had any change the last couple of days.

Good luck everyone!!
