    Hello could I join in as well please, have a pot I got out of B&M for 89p which says keep calm and save, hoping I can get it out with a knife at the end of the year but may need a tin-opener in which case it will have to be a pencil pot next year.:rotfl:

    Can I join too please? I am trying to save £2000 by Christmas THIS year by putting money away monthly but will still have a shortfall!!

    Hoping this might help towards bridging the gap!!

    I have a "pot of dreams" that I am saving £2 coins in so will be utilising DH's cow money box and a bit of tape and will be saving loose change in the pot.

    Now I just need to find the £2 thread!

    Thanks
    Can I ever learn this budgeting lark? So far it's not looking promising

    Hey everyone, #482 signing in! I have not spent anything with the money I got for Christmas so have put it all in pot along with some change I'd already collected in December giving me a starting total of £173.19!!! Now the real fun begins as I try to get to grips with budgeting and saving in time for Christmas 2012 without it all having to come out of my November/December pay as usual!

    Happy New Year everyone xxx

    Sue- UU can you count me for this year please?

    My pot from last year is still sealed as I'm saving for my big 40th birthday bash in Las Vegas.

    I will declare my total for 18 months of saving in Aug - if that's OK with you!
