    my £ potted today - yay!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • Ok lets do this!!


    It sounds a lovely idea. At first I thought that £1 per day would not be enough for my Christmas costs, but then I got thinking that even though I have managed to save up enough for the Children this year, hubby and I still do not have any money for gifts just for us :(.


    Maybe this £1 per day will be a nice amount for hubby and I get spoil ourselves next Christmas. That will be a first!!.


    Please sign me up. I will check out the links for the Spreadsheet in a minute.


    I am also off to transfer £3 into an online savings account now to catch up with the three days I have missed.

    Good luck and well done on that £3!

  • I've submitted my first amount £16, even told hubby about bit so hopefully he will help with with tips.

    I have a question though, when I submit another amount is it plus what I had entered the previous week or a running total?

    Thanks
