    Hello and welcome theresamum2 - it doesn't matter that you won't have 365 in the pot, any that you manage is GREAT!!. Once you get in the swing of putting £ away a day it will become a habit (that's what I'm hoping anyway......).
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • Thank you always happy. i am using one of those tins that have to open with tin opener already have my pound ready for tomorrow.

    Your very organised always happy :) Not sure weather i should open my tin on 31st of december then start afresh and do it for full year if i opened it in december would have 132 pound which still isnt bad.. You been doing the pound saving long? you done it for a few years?

    Morning!! theresamum2 - I have only found this thread this year, so this will be the first time that I "hopefully" have 365 at the end of the year - hope it doesn't always go in the sales - unless of course its things we NEED. I'm also doing the sealed pot challenge which will count as a separate amount. Can't believe how satisfying it feels to save.
    Another £ for the pot today, signature updated.

    Hi everyone - not posted in a while things been a bit hectic at home, hope all are well and welcome to the newbies :hello:

    I've still been potting away my £1 a day and have got paid up to the end of the month - so it's nice to be a tad ahead.

    Always happy - love your idea of nice pyjamas and dressing gown - I also think that you cannot beat a good pair of pj's especially if they go with a day in the house when you do not have to go out when you can get out of the shower into another clean fresh pair! :j
    (Oh I am such an easy person to please) :rotfl::rotfl:

    For me it's a snuggle chair from next for the living room or kitchen (can't decide which yet) with a pumpkin like foot stool - wow that will be brill for the just said pj days - this along with slow cooker dinners and of course Christmas are the best things about winter.....

    ....ooh quite looking forward to it now....

    Keep potting everyone - we are definitely getting there x

    Hi all

    My first £7 has been squirreled away into my savings. I've set up a direct debit for £7 to go out each Monday. I already have £2 savings jar which I'm quite obsessed about - I just can't part with £2 coins anymore:o.

    I'm looking forward to having a full year of £1 coins next year:)

    Yay meowhouse we are indeed getting there. I like your idea about what you are planning to spend your money on - the fabulous thing is we all are going to have CHOICES!!
    Well done munchin - better a late start than no start at all!!
