    A very warm welcome, nancyfoster and mollywop1, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.

    mollywop There should be no embarrassed smilies, you should be smiling now you're saving...go on! :grinheartThat's better.

    Good to see you saving hard again black cat. It's always nice to see older faces returning so I've updated your Target, all the best to you!

    Well done, scrappie.

    Lets hope for better luck with the pot tomorrow, catwoman. I'm sure the counting may motivate you even more so why not being as you have to transfer it anyway. Fingers crossed.

    Won't an ordinary bank change them for you, allybee? Should do surely.

    Hello! :) I would like to join this challenge too- I already collect 1ps and 2ps which we usually then take to the beach for the games machines on the pier :D which is of course great fun, but I feel this would be a more productive use for them!

    My partner and I are saving for a house deposit and this challenge would certainly help with that. Thanks :)
  • I have started three for the year! I am terrible at saving and I am determined to do it!

    Spent £1.04 in local newsagent, they didnt have any change so I got 4 x shiny £1's change and was let off the 4p ;)

    So £4 in my pot.

    Searched the house yesterday looking for odd coins I had missed but NUFFINK found, I was SO disappointed not to have anything for my pot! :rotfl:
  • Hi again
    Am I allowed to put any payouts from Quidco into my sealed pot? I usually spend this money on stuff we don't really need!
