  • hello all,

    a belated request to be able to join please. i've started a change jar actually last week - just as i thought it would be a good idea but a challenge like this will mean i actually keep to it!

    think i have the grand old sum of about £3 in my piggy so far so i'll go for the jam jar challenge please and "upgrade" if i think i'm doing well ;-)

    cheers,
    ntl

    Hope so!..... Damn those 50ps!!! I find it hard not to just chuck them in the pot too, but as I'm already savings 20ps or less and £2s, I'd have no money left at all if I did :D

    It's tough decision.... Do I have an NSD and not get any change, or do I spend so I can put the change in the Challenge Jar (budgetted spends only of course!!!)

    Another 36p from this morning.....
