Evening all! What AMAZING totals! Well, I've got to aim high for SPC 7, haven't I?!

Just a quick question, what is the best method? Keep a running total, have a vague idea of what's in there or leave it to be a lovely surprise at the end? Happy to fit in with what other people find works best!

By the way, found 20p on my bedside table (how did I miss it???) and 51p elsewhere. :j :j

Hi VickyA - I think whatever works for you will be the best method . I have absolutely no idea what's in my pots. I think I may be tempted to take some out if I set a target then managed to hit it. Others like to keep a running total so it's completely up to you :T

DS forgot to get my bank bags the other day - I picked them up this afternoon. Some more shrapnel potted today only to be freed on Thursday. I cannot wait :j :j

Thanks for keeping us going Sue :A

Whatever you find is best for you, there are people on here that come under all 3 of those headings. Im a chuck it in and have a big surprise at the end, some keep a vague total so they still get a bit of a surprise but have the motivation of an rough idea of how much they have saved, and a few have either tubs that count the money for them or a spreadsheet to keep a tally!

I'm another person who just puts the money in and waits for the surprise at the end

Still nothing potted, but still got that £5 note so fingers crossed I'll be able to pot that on Thursday when I get paid, just in time to open the pot

Can't wait Then I can start wedding dress shopping

Many thanks to MissE001, jakes-mum and dinglefoot for your replies. I think I'll just bung it all in and hope for the best! I'm so excited about finding the total at the end of the year already.... (2014, I mean!) No money will be safe!

Evening all,

I'm signed up and ready for SPC 7, so will be waiting til the end of the week to empty the left over from my budget.

However today i found my first bit of ROADKILL!!!! it was a measley 1p. Yes 1p, but it still made me smile, and I've potted it with pride :-)

Hope everyone has had a good day xx

dinglefoot

Of course pinkylds, you're more than welcome to join

Sue will be here to give you your number very shortly

We're a friendly bunch and it's great to have people to talk to and encourage you with saving money!

dinglefoot

I hope you feel better soon, or hopefully better already mynellie! I don't like this time of year, because it seems like there's always lots of illness about! Your son sounds great, men/boys are always so competitive :rotfl:
