    I find the £0.00 across the board on front page really depressing and not every encouraging.

    Just thought a gathered upto date count might help spur some of us one (especially me)

  • I am really struggling as we are trying not to spend, so don't seem to get much change. The only reason mine has gone up to £3.88 is because the car had to go in for a service yesterday so I empted the ashtray where there was loads of 2p & 5p coins! :-( doesn't seem like I will get £75 Jam Jar challenge! Oh well every bit counts toward christmas pressies.

  • Thanks, I know. I think it is just pschycological (sp) that when you enter a challenge you want to do well(well I do, am a bit compettitive). I will look at it as two challenges, 1 saving in the chage jar challenge and also on the NSD's.
