    45p in the pot today from buying the bread. Very happy news in the jakesmum household as after 7 months, DH's PIP decision finally turned up! Very happy with the decision and we can now get a cleaner in to help us with the housework (which has been too much for me for a while now) :)

    I hope that makes everything easier for you. :)

    Morning all.

    Welcome to newbies - good luck with your savings. It's never too late to join.

    Thanks for the support.
    AlwaysHappy - "focused" yes, but that's due to a fear of failure. I don't like failure once I set a target and my target meant I had to stay focused every week. But I got there!!
    More relaxed next time with a lower target. I'm going to be more frugal next year anyway and have more no-spend-days.

    I banked the final £110 yesterday, so all banked and ready for Christmas.
    I'm off on my hols today, 10.45am flight.
    Catch up when I get back, but keep on saving.

    Did a change hunt in my house last night, seems I have a tendency to leave random pennies on various surfaces. Didn't total a lot but every penny helps, right?!

    I can't believe how quick time is going. I'm hoping I've managed to pot about £20 I don't think it'll be much more than that but I did join late. Next year I'm going to set a high target and be really dedicated :)

    Sorry I've not updated for a while but have had to get stuck in to selling as DS decided he really wanted to go on a school trip which cost £700 and passport renewal had to be done so needed to use some of my banked cash to buy stock to earn the extra needed.

    Now back down to £400 banked with a further £200 (cost price) locked up in stock and £100 waiting to be banked BUT I've managed to pay off DSes school trip and passport renewal at a total of £755 :j. Oh and not forgetting the coinage in my sealed pot.

    I found using a variation of the 1% club ideas very motivating for me to get to my total but instead of each of the 100 squares being 1% of my total I made each equal £10 and wrote on each how much was saved when that square was coloured in. I've enjoyed doing it this way that I'll continue for any new targets I need to reach :)
    SPC #329 £471/£500 banked
    SPC 2014 £1100:D
