I'm going to have to declare zero due to losing track after some challenging circumstances in September & having to use all my savings in various places/challenges. All I can say is that having the extra money at that time came in extremely useful - see you all on challenge 10 xxx

Hi hummingbird! As Westie rightly tells you, and that you realise, is that at least that SAVED money was there to help you through your really tough times. However, if you can remember the things you used it for you're most welcome to include that money as saved!! Think hard then let me know! Congratulations to you anyway as I'm simply thrilled it was able to help you through!!!! :T:T
Hiya Helen! No, it's not pitiful at all as we know you've spent some of your savings, in a needs must way, and as I've said to hummingbird, if you can remember the things you used it for you're most welcome to include that money as saved!! Think about it Helen, then let me know. For now though....congratulations on the mount you're declaring AND on all the spent amounts!!!!! :j:T:j See you on 10!!

Oh findingmyfeet.....I am absolutely over the moon for you as I know that to you, that is such a fantaaaastiic amount, so I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! So many congratulations to you!!!!!!! :dance::T:dance: Enjoy your money either for Christmas or for whatever it is you need it for!!!!!!

Thank you Sue! Westie has come to my rescue here with her spreadsheet on the VSP challenge, I had £192.00 saved on there up to August so I will declare that as my total. I can't remember cash totals though but it wasn't a great deal that I've left off.

Thanks a lot, Becky, so sorry to have missed you out earlier on, I was quite horrified on seeing my blunder! Anyway, given the time you joined us you've done exceptionally well to get as mush as you did. So congratulations on your Total and I look forward to your Total for 2017!!!!! :j:T:j

Hello skilly! It's really lovely to see you again, especially declaring! I hope you're all well...keeping warm too! Many congratulations on such a splendid amount saved!!!!! :dance::T:dance: See you over on 10 I hope!

That's really good news, hummingbird, I hate to see members not being able to recall savings they've needed to spend. So, congratulations to you!!!!! :j:T

Can I re-adjust my total,Sue?

I banked my coins today,and the lovely young lad behind the counter weighed each bag,re-adjusted bags who were (usually too short) a coin.

Well,he tells me I had £843.
I guess that might be right.I am pleased the total has increased,though I am not sure how much of that is to do with him saying things like "This bag is short 2 p/over 10 p/under 1p/do you have a 10p piece?....." etc,so I would get it from my purse.To have a perfectly round pound number (ie, .00p),just makes me wonder if he rounded up a few pennies to fill the bags correctly.

Still,it is an increase,so I am pleased with that.:j

I would have thought this was the case as only full bags can be banked, this is common to ask for 1p here and 5p here, swopping £1 into smaller change to make up bags,

Its quite a pet hate of mine as my till sometimes is short due to me not giving back the right change, when I filled up the bags, Although most adults have full bags and I don't take half bags and give them back, but do accept part bags if its a children's account and try to fill the bag up in time, or swopping with other tills.

I currently have 80p in 2p in my till and its taking an age to get 20p in 2p as tills have a skeleton amount till customers pay in enough to make the bag up, it been over a month sitting in my till..
