£5 in today (in 10ps/ 20ps and 5ps - you gotta love hubbys change pot )

Like your style chicky!

Mine's got loads of "silly" money in too - to stop any raiding temptation that may come my way (downside will be that I won't be popular when I bank it all):(.

Still on track & just realised that the first £50 will be along in no time (it all adds up!).

Very late but here at last... in for the challenge again this year please! Last year I topped over £400 and the wife and I went half each and treated ourselves to whatever we fancied. Was a nice feeling to be able to do that!

Good luck everyone!

First of my weekly £7.00 Standing Orders has gone in to the ISA so up to £46. :j

I'm a little confused. Do I highlight, bold etc my new payment or my new total? I have done both just in case.

Just updated for Feb. I have put £28 in the kitty so on target with £59. Well done everyone!

yeaa.... that is the downside.....

we bagged it all up into the correct bags (i.e. £20 of £1s). i just opened the bags of £1, £2, 50ps if i needed a bit of cash in January as it all spends the same.

Have about £30 still sat in coin bags tho that I REALLYY outta take to the bank........ or should I empty it back into the pot for this year??

well done. no need to highlight within your post (unless you want tooo)....... just keep us updated..... I normally do a £100 check, £150 check so feel free to make it as bold as brass at that point so you don't get missed. :D


and yes i am still on target - WOOOP WOOP :T:T

thanks everyone for your regular reminders was going to use my piggy bank but the temptation is too close so am using a new saving account so the withdrawl process is a little harder am working on the premise of doing a monthly transfer have had a NSD for the past few days so may add that to the total good luck folks

Transferred £28 today in to savings pot for Feb payment and total is £59.03 (3p is interest!)

Starting to think now on what I will spend the £365 on? Frivolous treat or debt repayment. Will see at the time which way the wind blows -maybe a holiday?
