saved £2.49 on first day as ended up with a few 20p in purse. If this happens every day I will end up broke.

Well a pretty good start for us - raided DH's wallet and my purse and came up with £2.39 thanks to several 20p's!

Is It Too Late For Me??? Seeing As Its 2nd Now? I Will Empty My Purse Into A Jam Jar Today And Pretend It Was Started Yesterday. Might Give Me The Incentive Not To Dip In And Out If Other Folk Doing It. It Could Be My Kids Chocolate Money And Sweets For Chrimbo.

I'd love to join in this, hope its not too late.

Please can I be a Jam Jar saver for £75? :j

Hi all,

Well I'm positively loaded, £3.41!! Just emptied my purse for the first time this morning and that's the result!

Jaxx, hope you don't mind though, I'm trying to keep the 20p's as my washing machine has packed up and will need all the 20p's I can get for the launderette for the next couple of weeks so what I did this morning was...I had 10 20p's so I stuck 2 x £1 coins in there instead to compensate, hope you don't mind!

I'm off the mark at......50p. Also went to the bank this morning to actually pay all the money in that was already in the bottle. Total of £76 so really pleased though i'm not using that for this challenge. Also got a supply of money bags for the weeks ahead. So 50p for me xx

Wow! I've put 12p in my jam jar today - that £75 seems a long, long way away!

I've just started off my jar with £2.13 (change from shopping last week that I found in my purse, and a lot of coins I found rolling loose in my bag!):j

Jaxx, I can't pm you my total because I can't take the lid off my bottle. I superglued and taped it down and cut a slot in the side for depositing, as a preventative measure against me dipping in now and then.

lmao. I have done this with my £2 jar (gravy tub) and end of week pin money.
