Now up to over £17 in change saved! Woo hoo! Not bad for about a month of saving the pennies. Hopefully I'll get to £75 (or as near as) by Xmas - combine that with my Quidco, and that should be about £100 for December!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0

Okay I've saved another £2.06 this week - this is rather quite addictive. I'll definitely carry on doing this once I've spent what I'm saving now on Xmas.0
