Bad news for me - i just discovered that the money i was saving in one of those ceramic saving wellington boot style box - all the notes got stolen right from it :mad:!!! And it was stashed in my bedroom - very upset about this right now, still dealing with my house mate who i suspect one of her mates stole the money

So back to square one for me - and i had already just booked my xmas holiday before discovery this too, so heart breaking

Hi Foxy,

Sorry to hear that, I know just how you feel. Mine was stolen last year and I was totally disheartened.

This year I have put all my money into a bank account. So each month I transfer the amount to cover the days in the month. Its worked for me and I am now up to £304 which I think is pretty much on track. Hope you get this sorted.

I've put £4 in so that takes me upto Thursday. Getting really excited now to open it

Foxy that's awful....:mad:

Hope you manage to find the culprit & get your money back:( - and yes, I would involve the police too.

Just popping in to say I'm bowing out .... I did restart the tin in September but I think I need to get my budgeting skills sorted out once and for all and so the money is going into a "pot" in my bank just now until I get the hang of it.

I will be back next year (if you'll have me!) as hopefully I should be much more organised by then (never budgeted properly in my life and I need to get it sorted to remain DF).

I'll pop back towards the end of the year to see who's made it (noticed Ali has already!):)

Good luck, keep going - you're nearly there!

Back on the grind now after my missing money - I've opened an ISA account for this which i pay directly into once i get paid monthly, and i've been fortunate my listings on ebay has been selling more than i expected so i've been putting that extra into the account too. I'll do an update by end of november as i've got quite a lot listed for the next 30days.
