#494 reporting
I've counted up and the grand total is £142.28!!!!!!! Not bad for a very late starter! I'm actually declaring £133 as the rest couldn't be bagged; I didn't quite have enough of any denomination so I've put the rest into the pot for next year. Thanks to Sue for the thread and everyone else for having me, so glad you lot encouraged me to begin saving this year. That is enough money to enable DH to cover essential bills for a week and will mean he can take a week off with the kids at Christmas stress free (well financially anyway lol).
In other news my DD has PASSED her driving test this morning!!!!! 1st time and we're over the moon!! :j :T
Have a great day everyone, happy counting.
