    I have counted my money to take to the bank tomorrow £59.92! Am amazed. Will put total in my sig.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

  • Hi,

    can I join please?

    I have already started saving in my sealed jars for a few different things.

    I'm happy to open it at the beginning of November as that's when I usually start shopping.

    I'm aiming to save £1000, although it wont all be used for xmas as I'm also saving with park. Anything left over will go towards our house deposit fund.

    Have a good day all :)

  • Happy 1st February it may be stormy outside but spring and summer are creeping closer.
    Opened my purse this morning to find it empty except for a poor lonely 20p so I popped it in my pot with all my January pennies.
    Personal challenge for Feb save everyday even if it only a penny (hope its more) and every time I feel like a naughty snack pop the money I'd buy it with in my pot, bikini ready and saving to boot. :j

    Potted £13 yesterday as it was the last of my housekeeping from January.

    I have decided to start each month with £200 and pot whatever is left over at the end of the month. I thought it would be difficult when I noticed I had less than £50 over a week ago but it just made me more determined to keep within my budget.

    I've a full fridge freezer and cupboards, and with an inventory of all of the contents I should be able to do even better in February. I won't be able to post how I've done until mid March as I will be on holiday from 27th February.

  • Ooooooo, DH just left the room leaving £3.85 on the sofa that fell out of his pocket. Do I:

    A. Leave it for him
    B. Pot it and hope he doesn't notice
    C. Leave some as he's no idea what's there?!

    I'd have gone for D: Tell him he's dropped his change and ask nicely if i can pot it whilst fluttering my eyelashes and giving him a big cuddle. Anything else feels like stealing and A: is just completely out of the question!!

    Well Sue i finally potted the change last night. £27.32 has gone into the pot and 5p has gone into the roadkill pot that i found in my car. How it survived the valet and protect stuff AND a week of me owning it without finding i'll never know. It must have been there before i bought the car as there's no way i could have dropped it........

    Still, i think i've saved close to £100 so far :) very excited to open in november!!
