    Hi couldn't sleep again so having little mooch around mse x
    Could you add me to your list please? I got a new little piggy bank for christmas that you paint yourself so will use this. When it's full will use to pay towards credit card bill and then start again.
    Will look later for any 50p's in house when everyone else is up lol

    It's typical that I haven't had a single 50p yet!

    Please could you put me down for a target of £75? I wasn't too sure what to aim for but in trying to spend less I expect to get less change!

    Thank you for running the thread
  • Can I join in please :-) I won't put a target as whatever the surprise is at the end of the year will be welcomed :-)

    In a moment of weakness I killed my surprise factor and counted the 50p's. £6 to date. Happy with that and may do this now and again now to keep my determination up.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.
            Fiver Friday #13 £35
          1. Afternoon,


            Another 50p added to the pot today.
