    Morning all!

    Just had some brilliant news. In November, had a letter to say I'd underpaid tax between 08-10 by £960. As hubby needed to speak to HMRC this morning, I also spoke to them to arrange payment and apparently, they had duplicated my underpayments. I had the pleasant surprise that I was in fact within the tax code and I don't owe anything!

    Great start to 2012!

    Put about £2.50 in yesterday and I just know some more will find its way in today... It's amazing how motivating this thread is!

    51p so far today and I'm going into town later maybe I'll find some road kill. I once found a £20 note on the floor in a pub and when I asked around no-one claimed it! I didn't have a pot then of course so it bought a lovely lunch for us all :j

    And thanks to all my MSE reading over the last couple of days I've opened an ISA and posted my first item to sell on Amazon. I am one happy, motivated saver, thanks to the enthusiasm & support shown all over the forums. :T:T:T

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Crunchy nutter - I'm liking the NFD, well, not really - but you know what I mean!

    A grand total of £7 in the pot today.
    I used up two items from my tolietry stash, so £1 for each of those.

    Then I realised there is a 'beauty' TSV on QVC today - which I WILL NOT buy, as I DO NOT NEED IT! For each time I resist this temptation I intend to pot £5 - I would have spent £60 on the products, so it really is a saving!!

    My usual £2 will be going into the pot when I get home, plus 2p in tea room change into my road change pot.
