    Right, It's been ages since i updated my total. :o

    I've had lots going on at home so haven't had a lot of free time. I've kept up with the challenge though and am at £38.77 so not too bad. Don't think I'll get to £100 in time for xmas but the extra will still help.

  • Hello - Thought I would update my total for this week as I won't be spending anymore this week, so won't be getting anymore for my jam jar.

    I've got £3.25

    Which is a total of £3.25 as this is my first week. I can't really believe it - I didn't miss the money at all, yet when I counted it out, it came to that. Will definitely be keeping it up, and my new pair of glasses won't take as long as I thought. All in all, I'm feeling very pleased with myself :D

  • So sorry to hear about your Gran, mrsmortonharket.

    Quite a good week for me change-wise, as I've been buying a sandwich at lunch again. Now my jar is up to £19.45. Thanks for updating the totals for us, Slowly Fading.
