    Evening everyone
    Hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and received all you wanted. DW and I have had a lovely relaxing few days, except DW having to work on Boxing Day.

    Enjoy the rest of the holidays, take care and keep saving


    :wave: Hi SPARKY

    Glad you had a really good time glad you were able to relax .

    I bet DW was busy still at least she came home to a lovely clean house and dinner all ready

  • Hello all, hope you had a fab, high-calorie Xmas :D.

    Just 8p in the pot today. Will empty my purse on friday and with any luck there will be a handful of silvers in there to be potted. Call me a killjoy, but i can't wait for this holiday period to be over, i need to rein in my spending :o.

    I'm loving Mr Tumble btw :rotfl:, but i'd be too freaked out by him to keep him in my bedroom though :eek::D.... my Winnie the Pooh money tin so less intimidating :D.

    Have a good week (what's left of it!) :beer:.

    I have decided after going out to ther Sales yesterday that I will do two pots. But they will kind of be one. Its just I didn't have anything reasonabley sized to hold money so my boyfriend purchased me a money tin which you open with a tin opener. Its great :)

    I am going to save £1 and £2 in there - if it was full I reckon it would hold quite a lot.....and the rest of the money in my plastic and home made paper lid container.

    I have put some odd change in today, but as I am saving for a mortgage as well; I am trying to keep every note together and only taking money out when I need to.

  • Oh gosh - is that Mr Tumble? I thought it was Mr Blobby :o

    Another £2.50 - change from our well deserved take-away.
