    Ty Lynnejk, think this ones going to keep me wiped out for a while, haven't taken myself back off to bed but am sure feeling nauseous and got some wicked double vision and dizziness going on when I stand up.

    Cattysmum - I try and win christmas every year so my pot is usually for things we want rather than things we need. Last year it was a new carpet for the livingroom and new curtains for the patio doors, this year I think it will either be for a new bath as we have one of those god awful 'spa' baths! They sound so great . . . until you have to clean the bloomin thing and realise how much smelly, scummy water gets sucked back into the jets, no-one in this family has used it for 18 months now :(. Other option is to finally decorate our bedroom, 9 years we've been here now and we still have a metal rail as a wardrobe and walls covered in pollyfilla! (relaxing, adult only space of tranquility it is not :eek:)

    I do have a £2 coin to pot, but my purse is in the kitchen and I don't think I can get there :(

    Oh dear Jakes-Mum, you are in the wars. Hope you feel better soon x


    I only joined this challenge in the middle of last year so the money saved last year is still in a box under my bed. The money I save this year will either be changed into dollars for my November New York trip, or I will buy a MacBook Air, which I really want. I already have the majority of my Christmas presents, so don't need to spend it on those.


    £2 potted today.
