Well I can tell its been pot opening day :eek: had 4 x £2 coins in my change today! all in the pot (which I have craftily cut the hole of a tiny bit smaller than the £2 coins so you have to force them in and NO-ONE will be able to get them out without destroying the top

also 6p in the terramundi

Went to the black friday sales, what a waste of time that was! should have just been happy last night when I got DS's Fifa 15 for £29 much better that the £40+ its been on most sites

I'll have another go at £1000 for my target please Sue. I sadly got no-where near it last year but did get just over £400.

I've found a lovely big biscuit tub for this year's pot, and I've just thrown in a handful of coppers. We're under way!!

Well you've made a start on that Target, hummingbird! Re your hopeful £1000, put it this way - if you saved £20 a week then that's a £1000. If it's not doable don't worry and just do what you CAN do, but always budget well, that way there's more for you at the end! :j

You're away then, Observer!!! A good start.

I sincerely hope that's true, scotsmumof3, well done of the £20 win and WELL DONE on potting it!!!!! :dance:

Good work, jakes-mum! Now pop it somewhere other fingers don't go!

Can i ask a wee question on the rules please - i wouldnt want to inadvertantly "cheat" if its something that the rest of u dont do.

I get a little bit of cashback from topcashback, maybe around £10 three or four times a year. It is paid into my account. Can i put this cash into my tin?

Yes,definitely.
Saver-upper wanders off to see if Pinecone money has landed in Paypal account so she can pot it................

I've banked the £119 into my account from what I saved last year and now started this years pot.... £1.49 potted for this week. Need to pay more attention to this in 2015 though - delighted with how much I managed to save.

Thank You Sue UU :beer::)

In case it helps anyone - some banks have a paying in machine that you can just tip all your coinage in and pay it straight into your account. mine is natwest but I think hsbc have them too!
