    I've updated my sig.

    £41.45 now feels great to be past £40, not had much change recently so surprised how its adding up.

  • I'm up at £34 now which I'm more than happy with given that I started in Sept! And if I'm totally honest, I now pay for things with pound coins just to split it up and get the change!

    Sad, eh?!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hi all

    Im pulling out of the challenge from today - Ive decided to cash in the pot (not bad in all honesty! See my sig!) and stick it towards my Next account (I was lucky and got another £200 of vouchers from work and may be able to clear the account by mid November!

    I will keep with the idea of saving the change in a pot though as I havent missed it at all! Ill be doing the same, just not saving for any specific purpose except extra debt repayments!

    Good luck to you all!

    U don't need to pull out just because u've banked Jo...... I bank every so often too, and mine is just a running total of what I have saved so far....

    Stay and play :p
