  • Hi all

    Managed to get to £8.22. Quite enjoying this to be honest. But like Georgia, not sure if i'll make it (£150.00- who am i kidding??) but will give it a try. At the very least I will have £8.22 in my pocket that I didn't think I would have.

    Good luck everyone.

    Sorry, am now at £8.48 (just checked signature)
  • Newbie here!

    Hi all

    I haven't posted for a while, me and OH have had some sort of horrible virus and have been ill for over a week now. Just starting to feel a bit more like today.

    Managed to acquire a bit more change though, will get back into it next week.

  • Up to £22.13. Don't seem to have spent much these last couple of weeks. Disappointing for this challenge but great for moneysaving.;)

  • Another £4.42 for me bringing total now to £31.50. I am happy with this as I do try to avoid spending money so do not expect to have much change. Have lots of Tesco vouchers storing up for Christmas so will be ok. I am enjoying this challange and am sticking to it without any dipping in as I used to. Best of luck to everyone.:T
