Hey
Please may I join. Me and my partner are on saving year.
Thanks x0 -
You are on the list Tinks!
Ok so what are we all saving for!
I am saving to pay off my debts - more than likely. One card has to be done by July and the other by October. And then I can add to my savings.
What am I saving the savings for? hmm good question. Travel or a house. or three months off work.
It is good to live in a world with choices.

I am saving all my pennies for some semi permanent eye make-up I have no lashes or brows to speak of and have become increasingly allergic to make-up so see this as a longer term solution.
Every penny helps but still only at 1 x £0.50 as they seem to be in short supply here and it feels like cheating to draw them out the bank in that form.Can I ever learn this budgeting lark? So far it's not looking promising
Lloyds loan - gone forever! :T
Bank of Mum and Dad gone forever!
Emergency Fund £1500 :T0 -
Another 50p added for me today x0

Morning,
50p added to my pot yesterday.
Not really saving for anything, just trying to build my online 'pots' up for 2015.

Ooh I'd love the three months off work, but then I'd need to travel too so......
My aim has changed, I have now decided every time the pot gets full I'm going to pay it off a bill, or a debt like car tax. I got a Post Office card where you can save towards things like Car Tax, so it can go on there. Just replaced one of the 50p's I borrowed before, so not great savings yet
