    Good morning, Iv been on nights this week so I left the grand opening to my hubby who opened yesterday and he asked me to guess what was in our pot, I gave a guestimate of £170 odd pound, as I was not confident that I had reached my target of £250. I was amazed to find our total at £186.30 plus 100 Euros that I had popped in to our pot after bringing it back from holiday I have not converted it back to Sterling yet but going by the rate of the Euro, it is worth about £70, so I am stating our total to be £256.30, my target has been exceeded by £6.30, Im so pleased, if any more is gained from the conversion of euro to sterling I will pop into my next pot, which is all ready and waiting. My intention is to change all savings into notes and put into our Florida 2017 bank account. Iv not been such a regular visitor during the last few months but would like to thank Sue and any helpers she has, for the smooth running of the thread, and everyone for all their posts and motivational comments, that have helped me reach my target for the year. Thanks:T:T

    Yes, unless everyone's informed to the contrary (only ever happened once) you always stick with the same number, sounds as though yours is lucky, or...that you're a darned good saver!! ;)
