  • shiningfaery, you've been very MSE with your pot, excellent thinking.

    Why thank you, looking forward to starting this challenge my lil girl loves putting pennies in the bank so will make her one too when the next tub is empty....:D
  • Just testing to see if my new signature is working, and also to say, took some stuff to cash for clothes this morning, £3.80 potted :D

    Get paid from work tonight, cash in hand which usually means I will have some to pot, I'm so looking forward to saving as much as possible

    I am over the moon with the total. I know some will be declaring much more but it's money I wouldn't have saved without everyone's encouragement

    Yiiippeeee, little_sweetie!!!! Many congratulations to you on such great savings!! :j Your words above say so much and I hope many members read them and realise that with so many members there are bound to be varying/work financial situations which enables many to save a lot, but others not to be able to.

    However, that doesn't mean that any of us should be down in the mouth about ours as it's the SAVING that counts! Good to see you again little_sweetie, love to you both.

    That would be a splendid thing for her, shiningfaery, bring her up wisely like her Mum and she won't go wrong! :A

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all.

    More and more newbies. Nice to see and good luck to you all.
    Thank You again to EVERYONE for all of your encouragement and for putting up with me putting in and taking out earlier on in the Year....It's all been worth it to have a Christmas WITHOUT putting it on the Cards or the Overdraft xXx

    You've made my day.
    You did struggle and seemed down earlier in the challenge, but in the 2nd half you have flourished.
    So, a "free" Xmas - well done. :j
    Get a "free" Xmas and a "free" holiday next year. ;)

    I have managed to get 9 of the 15 20ps needed to fill that last bag - 6 more need and hope to get them tonight.

    I've also put 2 x £2 coins and a 50p coin into a holding pot to start next years off (only 3 £2 coins short of a full bag - I won't be stamping my feet over that though - lol).

    £738.80 to declare so far, but want that £740!!
