Becoming addicted to collecting coins

Hey my HB,

No sleep day for me today as I'm babysitting for the nieces as my sister has gone to a wedding with the nephew, so it was a early start for me but I don't mind as I don't see the girls that often.

Back to brownies at six, just enjoying some cuddles with the youngest niece watching CBeebies

Hope you don't mind me asking, on your sig you have "save 12k in 2015" and then two sets of totals, one out of 10,000 and one underneath out of 12,000. (Both very impressive!) Is that actually last year's and then this year's? Or both this year...........

Westie983

The 10,000 one is the total I pledged to save as part of the 12k challenge and the 11993 is the total of all the totals.

Oh I seeeeeeee!!!! Brilliant achievement and the year still has a way to go!!:money:

The Xmas challenge was £1 a day for a year, I managed to save £500 odd but I have already started to buy stuff so it's slowly decreasing.

£2 challenge works out to be £1 a week reversed so 1st Jan - 7th January I potted £52, then 8th - 14th was £51 etc... That works out to be £1378 over a year.

Sealed pot is my £1 coins and I thought the smaller terrimundi pot only held £250, but looks like I have squashed extra £250 in.

12k in 2015 is as it says 1k a month but I wasn't sure that I could that so pledged 10k...

It's amazing how it all adds up

What's happened to your savings.

What's happened to my savings? Hmmmmmmm???? I don't think I had any lol! Oh I know, Freedom Fund! No cash in there at the moment as I think it got raided but £94.00 paid into debt accounts, better than nothing!

Also have a small Christmas fund that is still not too late to get something helpful saved up. I started at this time last year and it did help me loads so I've put £10 extra in today to kick-start.


Also re-started sealed pot as you know and £3.20 potted.

Hope you're having a good weekend Westie. By the way, how do I switch over to the new forum layout? When it first came out I switched it back to the old one but now I have my phone it would be much easier and clearer with the new one but I've forgotten how to switch it! xx

Oh I've managed to change it Woohoo!!
