    Yeah im using an old celebrations chocolate tin, if i didnt save it it would be dead money anyway as I would have spent it

    OOO I like that, cos I was contemplating buying (!!) a giant cola bottle. :o

    But I have one of the plastic tins I can use and hide it under the bed!

    I am doing Yougov surveys for the last week's money(someone said that ? who was it?) . Have to make some more plans like that for the last weeks.

    Such great ideas here, thanks everyone XX

  • :hello:Hi everyone

    Well done to everyone who has managed to save so far. I don't quite have the will power to pay the money into a tin/piggy bank, so I am totting up how much it totals each month and moving the whole amount into a savings account (one that I can't touch until 2014).
    2022 Target - Reduce new mortgage balance after house move - Part 1 (Ported) Starting balance £39,982.12 currently £37,242.19 Part 2 Starting Balance £101,997.88 currently £96,197.38 (as at 19/04/2022)

    I'm paying mine into a savings account too. I find that easier as I never have change for the pot (also you get interest on savings :) ... although not much on £6 lol )
