    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm up to £12 so far.

    I'm making this an extra challenge by trying to only add cash I make in addition to my normal wages. The money will be for the OH's Christmas and birthday presents next year (His birthday is New Year's Eve) and maybe a couple of new Christmas bits for the house :)

    So £5 from cashback, £1 bank interest and £6 from WeBuyBooks gone into my tin :)

    Not doing so well here. The ice-cream tub I brough home from work to be my £1 a day tin had gone AWOL. I think OH threw it out! Just texted OH and he says he will get another one. Will set £4 aside to go in it when I get home.

    #17 started on the 1st and already have £10 put aside, probably going to add spare change to the pot as and when I can so I can have a bit extra saved. Feeling super excited already for Christmas 2015!!! Hope that doesn't sound sad

    Can I join in please?

    I did the challenge this year and managed to save £365 by November. I'm still saving £7 a week though because it's a habit now!

    I can't believe that I have saved up for Christmas this year, for the first time ever.

    Good luck everyone.

  • I've put my £1 in for today. Pozza-73 had a really good idea, which I'm going to copy, which was to put in an extra 10p a day . An extra £36 for the year. I'm going to put it in a separate pot and that will pay for the turkey.
