£1 shop have them mavvy, i know thats not free but worth the investment as they are the ones you have to use a tin opener to get into.
I have been saving the coffee mate tubs for daughters school but may decorate one and super glue the lid on after ive made a slit in it, want to have a 'next year fund' up and running as soon as I can.
i know that sounds like im being impatient but really its because i feel like i should be 4 months in front of where i am now. Car is doable, the minute thats paid I hope to hammer the credit card inside of 4 months so because my plan is in place and i know its all doable and in a reasonable time frame I do feel myself looking at the little unnecassary things and I want to do them now, I wont of course but having a plan to make my next tin just lifts my heart. Wow gobbledygook ramble or what, well i know what i mean lol!

Well I just made a 2nd payment this week of £1.76 to round my total this year up to £450! target by 31st dec is £500 so on track for this. Just making it to to a round figure has made my day! At the beginning of my debt free journey, I would never have thought that I would be pleased making extra payments...it just feeld so gooooood!:beer:

Welcome aboard newbies - well done Betty for nudging up!! Its never too late to come on board... the only start time is your own and the finish is ... well whenever you want or make it to be.. no pressure... just enjoy the ride with us mad ones. I mean how much fun can you have chasing them pennies up. Mavvy you get that tin and tape it up good!!!! already got your one pound from not buying a Betty Crumble proof one (where she needs the tin opener) we all have our own diciplines:rotfl:or not:o mine would be a Betty one!
Ebay sales done good. DH sold his beloved old bike bits towards some debts. Just juggling the money round trying to make it go as far as we can!! looks like off another debt that is interest free is going to benefit but it is the smallest ... I just need to get them down to a small number of accounts that I need to deal with as I am returning to work after 6 months off!! The less I will have to deal with the easier it will be for me. It will be snowballed funding though to the next one.
have a good week everyone
Still aiming for DFD Dec 2013..

Hello everyone

I've not been on here for awhile due to illness and a hospital operation. At the start of this week I found that I had money in my bank ac!!!! :j. I paid £50.04 to my Barclaycard and now I owe £232.00.

I get paid on Friday and aim to put 1/2 of what's left onto this card.

Thank you for your advice on Tins everyone :rotfl:Good idea on the Tin thread Betty. We could call it 50 shades of Tins
Well on with the tin theme I have my big nescafe tin free from work and I have super glued the top on and turned it upside down and cut a slit in the bottom which is now the top !:D If you get my drift.

I will not dare to pick it up as the super glue may not hold so safe not to raid it haha.If I need to move it I will have to slide it around !!

Anyway on with the challenge Just had a cheque arrive from my pet insurers which I had written off as so long ago and didn't think they would payout.But they came good and the £220.63 has been duly paid in and added to this challenge.

Good luck and everyone is doing so well ......I love this thread :beer:
