I'm going to be doing the same thing, hubby gets paid every 4 weeks so going to be taking out the money for clothes and leisure from that and the food shop will come out of our weekly tax credits. Anything left over will go into my pot to buy presents. Going to keep saving up my points on my store cards and use them to help offset the cost!

what i will be starting tomorrow is £10 a day which will cover me for 10 fags and canteen money and any change will be going in pot

I am ecstatically happy right now!

Good Heavens above, LeaLea, that is absolutely incredible!!!!! :T I'm really delighted for you as the pleasure you have almost screams out at us, and who can blame you as that is a LOT of money and so quickly accumulated!! :j Rather than keep dipping in, why not have a look at the 1st post on page 1 and see what it says about using a 'holding pot/purse'? It might be a huge help.

A very Merry Christmas to you also, with a Happy, healthy saving year!

Thanks a lot, LeaLea.

Please, EVERYONE, check that you have your Nos on your signatures! Many thanks.

Waheey! it was a complete spa set from Tesc. It comes with 2 tea light candles, a flannel, bath/shower/body lotion,shower puff and a bar of soap for £5.

My mum's so lovely.
She only wanted me to pay for my Granddads jelly babies tin for £4 and not £5 for the spa set as she had a £5 off voucher.

I'm potting £4 in my emergency savings tin.

£235 for me. Not as much as i'd hoped, but better than a smack in the face with a wet haddock as my mum used to say!
New pot ready and waiting to be filled next year.

Well done everyone,some fantastic totals declared.

My grand total is £385. Putting mine in the bank, according to hubby,never to see the light of day again.

Congratulations to all, and Merry Christmas.

Excellent savings, Cinders:!!!!! :T Congratulations, you've saved marvellously!! :j Doesn't all that hard work pay off too, not to mention create a DF Christmas for us! Brilliant saving, Cinders:, have a great year with SPC 7, starting tomorrow too.

I'm delighted you're so happy with your saving and spending, LeopardPrintsAndTea, it gives us all a good feeling when we know we've achieved the correct gifts.

Congratulations to you, lucyhope!!!!! It's still a very good amount and, as I've said several times today, a darned sight better than if you'd not saved!! My Mum used to say that too, though at times it would be with a "wet sock", charming ways they had back then! Start saving straight away, and don't forget - SPC 7 starts in the early hours of tomorrow.

Brilliant work, nanto3girls!!!!! :T I've been on the lookout for you after your help of the Reminder thread. Thank you so much for that. BTW, don't you get to decide what to do with YOUR half??!

Please, EVERYONE, check that you have your Nos on your signatures! Many thanks.

Thanks Sue-UU wouldn't have done it without this thread!

Well I've counted up and I've got £120 (which i'm a bit disappointed with ). My aim was £200, which I achieved last year,can't quite understand it. Anyway better than nowt and I've got £172 in my £2 savings tin.
It's all going into the bank as this time of year is very expensive in the Pop household, DS2's birthday today, DS1 in 2 weeks, then I think it's Xmas, then hubby birthday 10 days later. Not good planning!

Thanks for running this thread Sue x :A
