    Well that was a long month!
    I had £4 in my pocket for a week trying not to spend it before payday, and I managed!
    So that's been potted along with a £2 coin, change from yoga tonight. Happy days :D

    Evening all, some great potting going on and looking forward to this years total.

    NewbieJosh - yes, congratulation on your job. You seem very level-headed and focussed and nice to see.

    I've finally got a £2 coin (after a wait) and potted that along with a 50p coin and 5 x 20p's = £3.50.
    I'm hoping to hit £50 with 20p's, around £60 with 50p's and the rest with £2's and £1's. £1's will win though.

    £2.40 for the tin tonight including a lovely shiny £2 coin - I am so excited about opening my tins - though not to the point of counting down the sleeps (yet....).
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Thanks Lynsey I'm very happy that I have managed to get something sorted. The pays fair and the hours are good, plus the boss is a really nice guy and seems pretty flexible so I will still manage to keep a social life which I am really happy about :D

    Hellooooooo:j
    Potted £2.52,the leftover coins in my purse at the end of the month.Said purse also has a £5 note in it,which,if not spent by the time I next need to withdraw money from ATM,I will pot.

    Considered potting my July roadkill tonight as well, (about £5 worth,including a winning scratch card-who would discard that??),but will leave that for another day when I am looking for something to pot.

    Are we counting down yet:

    Hi everyone, I've decided that I am going to wait until November to count my pot all in one go. Have been putting in odd change all week but didn't count it as I'm going. I like surprises! Need something to look forward to!


    Have already decided that I will start anew from day 1 next year.
    Taking tips all along the way from all you experienced savers, thank you.

    I'm the only one who is stopping me from achieving my goals! :wall:
  • Put £90 from my pay into my savings yesterday so that's all done now YAAAY!!!

    Back to potting now :D
