    Can I join? I know I am REALLY late to this - but have been taken a look at my finances and big changes are in order. This challenge seems perfect for me (its all the little change I spend and the little innocent spends that really add up).... don't know how to do the signature thing but I will try figure it out.

    Was totally :eek: by how much people have saved in the previous challenges and by how much in total the group had saved - blooming amazing :T

    Today I am potted 60p (no diet coke on walk to work) and I will walk home so my bus fare £1.60 will go in too. (Found another 50p in the lining of my bag!!!)

    Hello all, been AWOL as its all gone a bit pete tong round here :( welcome any newbies, happy belated birthday sparky and I saw you say New York so im telling LC2!! Hugs to those having a bad time.

    Had a bit of an ESA issue, where they have put in a new system and whoever moved across all the files put in my original placement in the WRAG group not the reconsideration where I went into the support group. Cue a letter telling me im in WRAG, and frantic phonecalls get me confirmation ive always been in WRAG according to their system :eek:
    Anyway phonecall from job centre today to explain what had happened and confirming my move back to support. So pleased but had a week of panicking about it all which has done my health no good at all :(

    £5 from the lad off his bill and some change out of my purse today. I'll be honest, i havent potted hardly at all over the last week as my mind has been on the whole ESA thing and I worried we were really going to struggle for money so didnt dare pot anything :(

    Welcome misfire......its addictive this potting malarky, be warned :)

    My pot has received a £1 coin today. I think I may need to get a new pot soon. The current one is nothing special. Have been eyeing up my laundry capsule box and thinking that if I sellotape down the lid and cut a whole in lid for the coins, it could do nicely...mmm!

    Evening all,
    A few hubby rummages carried out in the last couple of weeks, but didn't get round to reporting in...! Purse shrapnel also added today. Second pot filling up nicely.
    Glad everyone is doing so well. Hugs to those who need them. x

    Welcome Misfire to the challenge! It is quite addicting! I always find myself questioning whether I want to buy that drink or if I want to pot the coins. Suu will be along soon to give you a number which she will ask you to shove into the signature (pretty sure its in user control somewhere!), the first post has everything you need to know 8D good start! I believe I started mine in May, has about $180-200 aud in it which I'm pleased about.

    Nothing to pot over the last few days, used the card or just didn't buy (since I'm actually broke xD)
