  • Just got made redundant, so every penny is a prisoner now! No point in wallowing in self pity - lets get cost cutting and saving!

    OK everyone

    Here we are then everyone, the moment you've all awaited:



    The Grand Total for 2011 is a whopping....



    £39,983.09


    A cracking £2,401.62 up on last year (2010) and
    with the economy as it has been I think that's absolutely fantastic!!!!!!

    A very big thank you to sparky for keeping his spreadsheet going and totting everyone's savings up!!! :T
    Ok then, lets see what we can do with 2012...is it possible to be able to beat it again???? I'm sure it is, but it's down to us ALL!!!
    All best wishes for everyone to have a great year saving as much as possible. :D

    Sue
    A quick word with quintins, for your peace of mind, now you've got to the £50 why not put the notes in the bank. Put what it is on your sig and do that each time you get a certain sum of notes that you'd feel safer banking, just keep a running total on your sig. Thanks.

    Sue x
    Have a lovely day everyone
