    Hi, only found this today but I would like to join please. I have had this idea myself before but never actually got round to doing it! I'm going to start saving for Christmas, £2.50 a day. I would like to transfer the proceeds into my current account on my December payday as my very own Christmas bonus, as we don't get one where I work! Also we get paid early which makes it hard to manage through January! I'm going to go off and work out how much I should have by then if I'm good!!:A


    hii,

    added you - #134 :D (heyy that was quick for me wasn't it!!)

    I think I'm about a week behind but will catch up in a bit... think i may have to start putting it in at beginning of the month as I keep making it up in 10ps/ 20ps and my pot is nearly full and verrrryyyy heavy (wooops).

    Anyone good at maths?? are we half way yet??
    ETA: OHH yeaaa we are
    Date difference from Jun 25, 2011 to Dec 30, 2011

    The total number of days between Saturday, June 25th, 2011 and Friday, December 30th, 2011 is 188 days.
    This is equal to exactly 6 months and 5 days.
    This does not include the end date, so it's accurate if you're measuring your age in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 189 days.
    The total time span from 2011-06-25 to 2011-12-30 is 4,512 hours.
    This is equivalent to 270,720 minutes.
    You can also convert 188 days to 16,243,200 seconds.
    Today is 6/25/2011 and 12/30/2011 is exactly 188 days from today.
