  • Hi everyone.

    Have to say that I haven't been trying at all this year so although I'm only declaring £17.01 It will buy me a cinema ticket tomorrow when I plan to go and see Miss Pereguines school for perculiar children. Bonus! Well done to all. Hi Sue, hope everything is ok with you :)

  • Hiya, Capricorn Lass here, number 0265...

    Not so much this year - I used to save the savings from the weekly shop, but unfortunately I've been unemployed for much of this year so needed to hang on to every penny I had...

    Even so, my little piggy has yielded up £35.41 - better than nought!

    Hi Capricorn Lass and lovely to see you again! I'm so sorry to hear you've been out of work for a good while but can quite understand why your savings would be so low, sadly it's inevitable. :(
    Still given your circumstances you've done well to actually save at all! :D
    At least you have some savings. Very well done indeed for at least doing the very best possible! :j:T:j Hopefully next year things will be a lot better for you.
