50p for me today. Have sold some bits on ebay which are being collected tomorrow so will have a nice healthy amount to put in tomorrow. Feel like my poor pot has been a bit neglected lately.

Oooh thanks, DorsetGirl, you've given me an idea! Free listing weekend on there tomorrow :T xx

Oh little_sweetie,I don't believe it, after all if you lead a dull life you wouldn't be here now would you! It is exciting to save, it starts the mind thinking of all other ways where savings can be made. Go to it, little_sweetie!!!!! :money:

Joyanne trying is what you need to start saving, then keep it up.

Many thanks Desperate Housewife, you too, nu1isit?, and yes, I'm still grinning. :grinheart

So sorry to hear about your health problems, supasick, all the very best that things will work out well for you.

Such sad news, sparky, it's hard to take when folk are young(ish), commiserations to you & DW.

My new years resolution is to give up smoking, which so far so good!! I am not going to put my regular cigarette spend in the pot, but I think if I have one of those moments of weakness/temptation I am then going to put the cost of a pack of smokes in my pot. It will be an extra incentive to stay strong!!

All best wishes for a very successful quit, chiefsfanuk!! I like the idea, good luck with it. If you need an ear try the Quitting smoking thread, also on Debt diaries.

What a brilliant start, Jen_Jen1985.

Good to hear of your e-bay sales, DorsetGirl, a good way to get cash.

You're definitely well on your way, emmita, stay determined.

I'm so pleased you've had a lovely day, ETO. Wasn't I lucky on that £5er!!! :j

Bet you're chuffed with your terramundi, roguexuk, I love mine. Just be sure never to smash it!

2 days ago I finally found 2 x 1 penny pieces! They were wedged in the crack of the pavement so I grabbed a nearby bit stick and dug them out. Totally forgot where I was, in the middle of the city surrounded by people walking to work. Drew some pretty funny looks I must say

What an image, Joyce! :rotfl:Hadn't you better take a stick in future, just in case one isn't at hand.

You've hit upon a great technique, BlueCow, stick to it. :grinheart

What a super DP, youngmummy.

WOW! Delilahh and celebration tins make great pots...now see if you can fill it!

Bad luck, clairelh, just never give up trying.

Hi, would it be ok if I join you all? We are saving every penny towards IVF in the next couple of months so I wouldnt be able to save a great deal until after then though?

I am planning to ebay everything that hasnt been touched / looked at in the last year. Obviously, not everything.... I love my skinny jeans that I havent worn in 3 years, but I just know I will fit into them this year

Im a huge fan of couponning too, so hopefully will take what I save and put it in the tin. The only problem there is I always mean to but never remember to!

Thank you Sue will have to check that out
It is really inspiring seeing everybody's efforts here, and the forums keep me busy and away from temptation :A

Hi Peeps,

Big well done to Starnac and Sue with your paper roadkill and Sparky for your paper pocket find, I think for the next 24 hours I will be known as Skerfuffle, and we'll see if the name change brings me any luck
