Change Jar Challenge

brummiebabe

Just got back from our hols, so needing to get back on track & update my challenges!!

Just counted money in whiskey bottle - it's now £7.65. I know we didn't save our change whilst on holiday....so will really have to try to get saving now!!

Hello, just found this thread, love it! I need any encouragement to save and not spend (waste) money at the moment, please can I join in? Last Xmas was dire moneywise, so a saving of £75 would make a big difference. I'll go for the jamjar saving, but how do I do a signature, so I can put on it what I save each week? I think seeing other people's sigs is such an incentive to save a bit harder, specially if other people can see what I'm saving!

(PS I've got 31p to start with, all I need is a jamjar................)

to do your signature - go to the top of the thread, just above the page numbers is a blue menu - click on USER CP - and then 'edit signature' and type away!!

Good luck!!

Been lurking round here but seeing this has encouraged me to finally post!
:hello:
Have the jam jar (well, bubble bath anyway) so count me in for the £75 jam jar challenge - off to empty my purse and update my sig.

Thanks Jamie, feels odd to see yourself up there in the list after lurking for a coupla months. Happy if I save something towards Xmas - hopefully will spend so little there will be no change for the jar. Or maybe not :rolleyes:

well youve made a start and thats the main thing, are you doing any other challenges? i found they were a real help to getting out of debt. i am still doing them now but to save instead.

the grocery and pms challenges are brilliant (OS Board) as is the olympic challenge:)

good luck with your debt free journey!

Congratulations on getting debt free this month :beer: good to know people get to the end of this DWD journey!
I think I'll take one challenge on for now. Used to rush in to things too quick but learning to pace myself. Now just pluckiing up courage to post an SOA in the next few days. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Been a bit lax on writing my running Jam Jar total here, but not on the change being thrown in the Jar, makes washing OHs clothes enjoyable, finding all that loose change in his pockets, lol.

Total so far:

20p's - £9.80p
10p's - £1.40p
5p's - £2.50p
2p's - £0.40p
1p's - £0.40p
Total= £14.50p

Wow, it does mount up!
