    Hi Sue, please can I join this challenge? I've never done a sealed pot challenge but like the idea. I'll aim for £500 for Christmas £2012 but if (that's a big 'if') I don't need it I'll keep it going for a another few months. I'd love to treat myself for my 50th birthday. Either way it would be great to pay for something without incurring more debt. Thanks :)

    A very warm welcome, 281273 and MsDaisy, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Have great fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

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

    All the best, Jane with beating your own record!

    It sounds like something wonderful to aim for, MsDaisy, all the best with it.

    Congratulations to your DD, mumof3plusoh!! :T I'm sure yo told her it's passing and personal enjoyment that matters most, she sounds like my DD with her ballet (a few years ago), she did many exams but only once didn't get honours - she wasn't happy at all!!

    Very good, cutestkids.

    You have luck wished from me, sheng!

    Don't knock it, silverfox as that IS a good start, keeping it going is what matters - and you will. :)

    Hiya sparky, what on earth's a tontine? Or is it Liverpudlian lingo? £20 a week???!! :eek:

    Hi Kerry and well done! BTW, I've missed you on here. :(

    Have fun with those kiddies, laisbojar and well done with the £3.

    When it gets full, gonnabedebtfree you could bank it - or change the coppers for £2 coins and pop em in again - I would! :D

    All the very best with the move, Jackies, no wonder you refer to it all looking like a tetris game. This time next week though you'll be happily settling in. :)

    You're quite right, Stressed..tis better than the amount I've put it in :( Maybe later.

    Very well done, kirstysmudge, so long as you know you don't need to keep a tally of it.

    Enjoy your day everyone.
