Another £1.79 total in sig!!!!
I'm going to carry this on but will probably not cout it as I go. As I've said before I save in sealed tins and like to try and guess how much I have got - when I do open it it's always a surpriseHoping to stick to the challenge this year!!

I think i was waaaaay overoptimistic when i said i'd aim for the whisky bottle one when i started! but I think I might do this again after christmas - do people mind if I start another thread (i.e. would you join in?) or should i leave it? xBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

slowly fading
Think it's a good idea to carry it on - it still makes me think before I spend money, and if I get too much change I know I have spent too much. Think part of the problem is people have lost a bit of interest because the totals haven't been updated very often - I don't understand how to do it, is that something you would be able to do? If it is I say go for it!!
stressed xxHoping to stick to the challenge this year!!

Yeah, I could continue with it - I dont know what happened to the original poster, but I'm more than happy to continue with this - i can save without realising it too much this way, lol

I know some people have said that they think you spend more money this way but I don't find I take any more out my account - and our holiday money looks after itself
I will join up again if we have regular updates- I'm going to join the £2 club too after Christmas so hopefully with that and surveys Christmas will be nearly "free" next yearHoping to stick to the challenge this year!!

I'll update it reguarly - every week I think. The one reason I joined in the first place was that I was interested just how much we could all collectively save - this didn't happen here, but I'll do it! xBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
