Morning potters
Was going to do this after work but I've been so looking foraward to it I got up early and counted.
#100 here declaring a wonderful £887.52
:T:T:eek::T:T:eek::j:j
Beyond happy.
When I first started I had the figure of £750 in mind as a goal to give dd3 and her lovely fella as a wedding present. It looks like I've got a bit left over for myself
Well done to everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone's totals later.SPC~12 ot 124

You keep us all motivated and on track. Whatever we've each managed to save whether it's money for a specific goal or a bit extra for Christmas we wouldn't achieve it without you, this thread and the support we all give each other.SPC~12 ot 124

Sooooooo No.48 reporting in with my pot total of £404.49
Considering my target was £300 I'm a happy camper :j
Thanks to Sue for all the organising. I've not joined in much this year but have still been saving. Roll on the next pot, although I've not got one yet so taped up the now empty one until Santa brings me a new one
Hope everyone is pleased with whatever they've managed to save.
