The 50p Savers Thread for 2013 :)

Hi, can you count me in please? Christmas really crept up on me this year so i won't be counting my 50p's until next christmas and i will hopefully have enough collected to make a big dint in the pressies.

Another 2 to add for me today ..... now @ £11.50

This looks like a challenge to join for me, our family saves all our coppers, 5, 10, and 20 pences, but the 50p would be a great personal challenge to help towards Christmas and birthdays!! I have a real habit of spending any money I have in my purse, so here's an excuse not to.

How do I join???

Hi cazzyd welcome!

Buffy will give you a number when she gets back after the weekend ... meantime, pop up a target & what you're saving for (if a specific thing!)

Thanks very much, I guess just Christmas 2013 in the region of 50.00 will pay for cousins/friends presents. Is that a reasonable target?

To be fair my sister collected a whole bunch of 50ps in a collection for me for Christmas, but it wouldn't be fair to save those as they were a royal mint Olympic memorabilia collection a celebration of my Olympic Gamesmaker experience.

Count me in please, aiming for £100 towards a new tv for our bedroom.

I doubt I'll be counting as I go though, but will do a major count up in December. Good luck all

Count me in Just a £50 target for me please - I travel on the bus a lot so I'm always using up change & I'd rather set a lower target so I can (hopefully) be more impressed with the end result! Also a 20p saver for 2013 too.

Ohhhhhhh can I join in please?

I saved my 50p's all last year and have just opened my pot today and have £52.50. I know it's not a huge amount but I was so delighted.:j

£50 is going into the bank and £1 will be used to but another sealed pot and the last £1.50 will be used to start me off again.
I won't be keeping a running total and I am not saving for anything in particular. It will just be lovely to open the pot and have that cash this time next year. :T
I suppose my main aim will be to beat the £52.50 I saved this year :T
