    Found a bag of 10p's earlier, so am now potting £3.70. First proper potting of this year, although there is still a few pence/pounds left in from last years.

    Well I've added another £8.67 to my Total tonight.... :T :T :T

    I really feel like I'm getting the hang of this Saving thing....I have NEVER saved money before....but I'm determined that next Christmas I will have the money in my Bank rather than having to borrow for it!!

    :T:T well done. I managed £3 although I'm deliberately trying not to count so I get (a hopefully) nice surprise at the end :-)

    I moved the sofa to hoover under and I found a penny, so popped it in the pot to join its friends.

    We've all done exceptionally well considering all the price hikes throughout the last year. So, very many congratulations to everyone for an extremely valiant effort!!!! :T:T:T:T



    No matter what they throw at us this year, we'll budget all we can and take every single penny possible to save!!



    Very many thanks indeed go to sparky!!! :T:T:T You've been brilliant with all the counting up,there for me too whenever I've needed help too :kisses3: but please, get that spreadsheet ready again for next year as I've already had word that Martin's linking us from his newsletter today!! So prepare for our family to grow further, if it isn't already underway!

    Wow Sue that is so amazing!!! Well done everyone!
    Wow amazing total guys.... so proud that £96 of that was mine lol.
    not much going in the pot tonight only 0.95p and no road kill again today... somewhere here in west cornwall there is an MSE'er and they are getting to the road kill before me.. on second thoughts is sparky holidaying in cornwall at the mo???:rotfl:

    I wish it was me! I did find a pile of pennies in the car park in st Ives before Christmas but otherwise I rarely find roadkill.

    Just popping in to report 45 p going in the pot change from a late weekly shop,

    Welcome Summertea....I'm sure the lovely Sue will be along in the morning to give you your very own number (don't forget to put it in your Sig, it helps!!)....We're a really friendly lot here...happy to help you anytime you feel down....so just go for it and let us know how you get on....Posting on here DOES help you keep motivated hun....really it does :D

    Nothing extra to Report here but am going out for a Cafe Brekkie in the morning and then a little bit of shopping in the Evening so should have some change then!! But won't be able to Report until the Evening as I'm out all day from 9am until about 5pm-ish...

    Wow....you Guys did AMAZING with your Totals last Year....That's a HUGE HUGE HUGE amount to have saved just from extra bits of change around the house and roadkill and other bits and pieces...

    I'm still on track...I figure if I manage to save £10 per Week then that's about £500 by the time I get to Christmas...which means I'll really be able to treat the people I love as this Christmas I couldn't treat people as much as I wanted to....So I'll be really really pleased with that!!

    Anyway...enough of my rambling...this is what you get when you wake up after a few hours sleep in the middle of the night...little old rambling me :D

    I'll shut up now...LoL :rotfl:

    See you all in the morning... xxx
