    Wowzers!! isn't everyone doing well - however big the sum (or small), its more than you would have had and should be celebrated equally. We all are in different situations with different budgets and wriggle room. I can't wait for the grand reveal of all the totals, I know, I know, I'm getting ahead of myself. I haven't opened my tin yet BUT I have put another £6 in there today.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    NB everyone!
    Unlike sparky I have not been able to take any banked amounts from your sigs, I'm trusting that you'll all be able to give me the entire sums you've saved when you declare on the 27th. Thanks a lot folks. :)

    Start as you mean to go on. I think it's brilliant that he is saving they should teach more about money and finances in primary school then we might not get into such a mess . They should have classes on MSE that would teach them:)

    Martin's trying hard to ensure it's on the school curriculum for all our youngsters, scotmumof3. It would be wonderful to see it carried out so they hopefully understand money and how to deal with it - before leaving school!!

    That's it, Anna, keep it going until the end. :D

    Crikey 32b3, you've certainly started out as you mean to go on...good for you!!! Our poor pots always sound so empty for a while, all the more reason why we should fill em up as soon as is possible!!!! :j

    You don't have to have a Target, Hicks, it's entirely up to you.

    Oh so very true, AlwaysHappy, circumstances differ so much, but savings is exactly that for which we should all be immensely proud!
    Hopefully, the Grand Total won't be as late as normal, which us why I've tried my best to get the date out everywhere possible. Fingers crossed.

    Not long at all, Vicky, so keep up the good work!

    Hi, just £1 potted today, went out to do some shopping, Ts, Asda, Lidl, usual places and last shop was Lidl, knew I needed a £1 for the trolley, I managed to scrape some loose change together and a lady swopped it for a £1, which is now nestled snugly in my pot after doing its job in the trolly. I keep meaning to get a trolly coin, but I always end up losing them. Not long now.

  • Hi all.
    I'm still finding my way round the forum, and just came across this thread :) I've read the first post and wanna join in, how can I be added please?
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.
  • Hello YoungBlueEyes and welcome, our lovely leader SueUU will be along later to give you a number. Sounds like you've already read the first page so well done, grab a tin and get potting!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
