    Where there's a will there's a way, eh findingmyfeet!! :D At least you've started.

    Now budget well throughout the year so you have more to save, and....more to spend on what YOU like next year!! ;)

  • Please may I join?
    I used to do this, but slipped off the boards for ages. I fell off the wagon in lots of ways, and my spending habits need taking in hand again.

    I've started saving in a glass jar, but will get one of those sealed tins instead - I know Po*ndland sells them for, yes, £1!

  • Hello all
    Lovely long walk today - full waterproofs this morning but got blow dried by the wind this afternoon :rotfl:
    Came home with another lovely £2 coin and some change - potted!

    Helllooooooo Winchelsea, I remember you well, of course you can gladly re-join. :grinheart It's really lovely to see you 'home' again!!! A very warm welcome to you. :hello: You know how everything works but you can always cast your eye over the 1st post to be sure. I hope you're well and can climb back on the saving wagon again and soon be back in the swing of things once more. You know where I am should it be necessary.

    Ok then, off you go with your 'pot' and I do wish you well with your saving! You'll see many 'old' faces still here too.
    Love and best wishes, Sue x

    Wasn't that ever windy, TheDapster!! I went with DH and our Lab this afternoon, but was far too busy here to attempt it this morning!!! :eek: Wonderful work with the £2!
    A very goodnight to, everyone, sleep well and have a lovely Sunday

    Sue xx
