    Morning potters x 2016 pots off the mark with a lil holding pot at the side for kids bits and bus fares etc, hubby has stipulated if I borrow (read raid) out of the pot I have to double what I take when putting it back in so decided a holding pot was needed :D so £4 odd in to start us off x

    Potting newbie #501 reporting in to say the holding piggy bank has been transferred to the sealed one. Didn't count it as I want my savings to be a surprise this time next year. I won't attain the heady heights of some here, but every penny counts :D
  • Ahhhh I can't find my pots for this year so starting with sellotape and a pikachu money box (sadly mine not my sons ha ha).

    Will check my number is correct later with my signature.

    Here's to the next year.

    Happy banking :)

    Morning everyone - starting my pot off with a handful of 1, 2 and 5 pence pieces that cannot be bagged for the bank from last year's challenge. New day, new year, really hoping to save well this year :D:xmastree:
