Just wondering does anyone have specific things they're saving up for with their pots? Is it more motivating to have a goal in mind???

This is the 7th? year i've been part of the SP challenge, first year I think I was trying to scrape together £250 for 2 bikes for christmas :eek: then it just became a competition each year to beat the previous years total This year is being clubbed together with last years money (yup still have all of it apart from the bit DH and I take out as a well done to us . . read that as ME! but he feels he deserves rewarding for not cracking it open when i'm not home . . to spend as we wish) to pay for a all singing all dancing trip with the rugrats to Orlando.

I'd go with either putting the piggy in a safe place and starting a new put OR removing it all and putting it in a separate bank account and making sure you don't use it!



I mostly save mine for the C word but it's my OH's birthday in May so i try to keep the rest for when we go away for his birthday.


Hello everyone, I'm still here, still potting but i'm trialing something new this year where i don't count what i've potted so i haven't been posting. I still read everyones posts though. Next year i think i am going back to counting as i don't think i've potted very much at all. I have a VSP too which i include in this challenge and that's doing a lot better.

Hope you are all happy

Argh, that C word Great when you're not scrabbling around in December for non-existent cash because you're saving up over the year. Makes such a difference now.

Various silvery coins potted today. :j :j

haha! it is indeed i have another update for you too. I'll be over to tell you in a second :j

I emptied my purse into my sealed pot last night. I think i need to get into the habit of doing this maybe every Friday. You can tell it's getting close to November, i'm panicking about not saving enough haha.

I might be going to Canada next month. Work are sending me so it shouldn't cost me anything but i may need to raid the pot to pay for presents and things. This will be the first time i have ever left the UK so i want to bring back lots to remember the trip by.
