    Just went to the charity shop to see if they had a bit of tinsel to brighten up our side window, and not only did they have some georgous purple high quality tinsel, they had 4 pieces for £1.50........ so I also gained a 50p piece in change! Headed for my pot when I get home.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

          1. Hello 50psavers :)


            Happy Christmas!


            So... not finished my shopping, not fed the troll and can't get the similes to work! (also had to hand over a 50p to the cab driver tonight!)


            However I have updated the list! see post two :) and am very much looking forward to the new year!


            If you want to join or I have left you off the list (very sorry) please let me know by posting here.


            I really need all the money I can get to buy a new car so this challenge is very important. I am using this and my virtual sealed pot to save.


            So members how we doing?

            I like 50ps there s something quite satisfying about them, I think it's because up until now they have been prized for parking but a change of job means I no longer need them for this so I will save them all up!

            I think I will save them for nothing more exciting than DH's Christmas pressure.
            Can I ever learn this budgeting lark? So far it's not looking promising

            Freudian slip :) I assume you mean present :) I know what you mean tho is supposed to be so much fun but regardless of my plans I always end up in Sainbury's on Christmas eve supressing a huge rage!

            I had terrible trouble when I had to pay for parking, so annoying to have to hand over in my case 1.40 worth of tens and twenties!


            Welcome to the challenge !

          4. Haha I think my iPad knows my mind better than I do!

            But yes supermarket claustrophobia kicked in earlier! I love a Christmas hate the pressure of it!

            I have a complete aversion to parking costs, wasted money in my eyes!

            I have raided my purse, potted my first 50p and found £2 x 2 in rate pot but no keys to access it so I suspect my 50p fund will do well if I can't raid it!:D

            Couple of 50p's gleaned over the weekend, where are they all? Probably in everyone's pots. :)

            Calm day in town yesterday, and today the queue for W***rose went all ther way down the road, past the roundabout and then on as far as the eye could see. Is food running out or what?
