    I'd like to join in the change jar challenge (now I've cadged a jam jar from my Mum!)

    My starting amount is £3.54. Hmm some way to go to reach £75 by Christmas!

    I've just started the £2 coin challenge too - only £2 so far but have told DH he will have hand over any he gets as well. Can anyone tell me how to get a saver number?

  • Just counted up the contents of my whiskey bottle..now stands at £15.86 - I can't see me getting to £150 by December:confused: !

    £15.86 is exactly what i started on when i counted up the change on my JD bottle last week! How bizarre!

    I'm aiming for £100 by 1st December.

  • £4.39 for this week making total of £43.53. :j Am on track still.
  • Hey, £10.37 by today! Woo hoo! The £3 increase was largely due to change from my main shop for the next 7-10 days, and a few spends yesterday on early Xmas pressies.

    £75 may just be achievable!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Now at 26.23, so another £2.46 this week. May not make the £75 target but definately going to make £50 (I hope :) )
