  • £1.10 in the pot for today, or was it £2.20? I always put my money in first thing in the morning but this morning I couldn't remember if I had or not so to be on the safe side I assumed I hadn't so i may have put it in twice.
  • Today's quid's in :)

    I would like to join please!

    As you can see from my signature I have managed to exceed my target this year.

    I will save using the same method next year because apart from the £2's, everything else is 'free' money.

    I think I will go for double next year - £730. I should have some of this year's pot left to carry over but don't know how much yet.

  • Another £13 in the pot today. Cleared out my purse and didn't want to wait until tomorrow to add it, as I'll probably spend it before then! Brings my total to $40 for the month.
