    That's a lot of people saving £365 in the year!!!!:eek:

    Would definitely be interested to see a running total.

    Yes it's about 250. I'm sure we will have a lot of members joining over the next 2 weeks :D
    I will try to get some sort of spreadsheet sorted out before we start to see running totals for everyone :rotfl:

    Sorry, not been paying attention and didn't click that this was the new £365 in 365 days.
    :o

    Any chance I can join up??

    Hoping that maybe Helen would let me have number 8, but if not I understand. Don't want to seem cheeky, it's just my lucky number.
    :undecided

    If I can join up then OH and I both contribute £1 each every day. (Goes in at the beginning of the month).
    I am afraid we will be doing it from November to November as I go on holiday the first week of December and won't have time to do shopping after that. Hope that is okay.
    :)

    Not a problem at all. You have been changed to number 8. DreamerHelen has been so kind to swap. Il put you for £2 a day. Not a problem going from November to November, might just have to update the totals a month behind so everything works out ok. Will let you know :)

    Mr CF could I have a smaller number please? If not it's ok :-)

    Of course you can. I've given you the big no 15! Hope it's ok :D
    Saving for that dream holiday
  • I'm happy to have any number as not particularly superstitious, really looking forward to Dec 1st. Keeping this saving plan secret from everyone so I can go out and spend on presents. Now thinking of doing this in a separate tin so I can treat myself at the end of the year. I have several long term medical conditions which besides everything else leave me in a lot of pain and struggling to work full time so being able to treat myself to something at the end of 2015 would be a real incentive. Is anyone else doing a tin for themselves just because or because they have illnesses etc?
