    Ok... number 1434 reporting in... I'm starting my sealed pot with £7.12! :)

    Hurray!! Will see if I can get any more into it tonight!

    We use our £1 coins for the savings stamps at tesco, so going to carry on with that I think... put other stuff will be going in the sealed pot! :)

    Afternoon all and I hope it's been a good one.

    Brilliant Susi_Wa, good to see you getting excited too. Good going with how full your pots are.

    If Mr B gives you all his cash anyway, Ellie_B I'd advise you do one for both of you or you'll possibly end up with much less! Beware of men in competition! :naughty: A fantastic start with the £7.12! :D

    Lucky you bargainlover, I haven't picked any up for ages. Eyes down!

    You already making ate night/early morning plans then, Decluttering, what can I say to that.

    Keep the housework up then, kiss_me_now, you never know.

    We do not encourage raiding OHs for their cash, curly....Keep it up!!! :T

    Well done jakes-mum you too e4rub!

    Nothing for me today :cry: but then it's been a NSD day so can't grumble..but will anyway. :(

    Have a good evening all

    I agree with mumof3, it is so addictive. I am amazed at the amount of change you can get. I wouldn't ever pick pennies up of the floor before but now I have no shame! With the debt I am in EVERY PENNY COUNTS!
    I love it on here because nobody judges you, they just support you and give plenty of praise for what I save. They are brilliant and really motivate me to do well:grouphug:

    I was given a bar of Cadburys and a bar of Galaxy from my housemate from her friend to say thank you for letting her stay. We were given £4 budget each, which means I was also given a shiny £2 coin for my pot. Whoop whoop
