    Can I ask a completely random question? How many bank accounts do people have? I have 9 at the moment but I'd like a couple more to store different amounts of money. Does it matter how many you have?

    It's ok Ruth, Incidentally we have ONE bank account...ask jakes-mum how many she has, I bet it's an embarrassing number!!

    :eek: Cheeky! I have 4 bank accounts :D , 2 x current and 2 x savings . . . though i'd be more than happy to have 40 :rotfl:

    Ahh I was well happy with that total Sue, I did consider selling the trio but felt I might get a bit lonely on me own in Disney World :rotfl: Least with that and what I have from last years SPC I can pay for the flights and hotel. Now its just theme park tickets and spending money for SPC 10 :D (tell you what, we're a long way from that £250 goal when i first started! do you realise i've saved just under £7 1/2 thousand pounds since I joined you :eek:)

    Afternoon lovely potters

    My - what a day !! Sooo pleased you've all done so well :T
    The excitement is jumping off the page :rotfl:

    My op seems to have gone okay so far, fingers xd, though still a bit achy, itchy, blurry and dazzled. Apparently takes four weeks of eye drops to settle down completely.

    Having used the abacus I'm happy to declare

    SPC 130
    £1470 saved in the pot and another £3146.41 made on the 'make £10 a day' thread over the twelve months.


    So grand total of £4616.64 :T :dance: :T
