Congratulations hickles
Just 89p potted today.
The bank gave me a load of change bags so I know I have at least £32 in change (with lots more still in the pot) to bank. Also means I need to start putting away quite a bit more over the next two months if I want to reach my target! *determined face*Debt free 6th December 2014
