  • I wondered why the thread had gone quiet then realised there was a part 2! Oh well! Still carrying on with the challenge, slowly but surely - I have absolutely no idea how much is in there!

    Well, I lost 1/2 a pound this week. Not a lot but going in the right direction which is all that matters.

    Anyway I have 33p to add to pot 1 and 50p to add to pot 2.

    I do that all the time with long running threads Absinthe - but glad you've caught up with us again now!

    Two small silvers went in to my pot today, I did have a couple of fat gold ones for the penguin but decided to sacrifice them in favour of maintaining the sanity of the people on the train near me when my stomach started rumbling horrifically loudly.

  • hello!

    i'd like to join please!

    i have a beautiful blue ceramic fish money-pot that i bought on ebay a few years ago (it was *not* a bargain, i paid far too much for it cos i fell in love with it... those days are over!) generally it sits and gathers dust - i do put money in sometimes but usually take it out after a week or two when i have nothing for milk or bread.... so now i've joined this thread i'll make sure i don't open it till december :)

    i have no target amount and i'll probably just put pennies in but my aim is that at the end i will pay whatever i have into my credit card!

    so... £0.55 in the fish today!

    Morning all,

    Back from holiday with lots of washing to do :(, but we had such a great time. Its made me more determined to put as much as I can into my pot so I can save enough for another summer break next year.

    So £8.37 into the tin this morning.
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.
