Im finished too, I have already used my money to buy my presents, and I just need to wrap them all up now.
I am happy with the 1st December, although its not actually 365 days unless people are still going to be potting right up till November 30th?
Look forward to the next challenge being launched.[/QUOTE
I know its not strictly 366 days unless we go right to the end and it's up to everyone when they open their pots but in order to set up the next years challenge we will need to have a start date (the previous year was sort of abandoned part way through so it wasn't difficult to start on 1st December).
Anyway, I'll set the new thread up for 1st December unless we have a lot of people who want something different.

If it's no trouble Ellie, would it be possible to move me up the list if there are any gaps? That is, if we are generally keeping our numbers. It's easier for me to remember if it's a smaller number!:o
I was going to carry on for a few weeks more till the new challenge starts, but as most of us are cashing in now, I will too later this week. I need to get some paying in bags and work out how to pay loads of coins into an internet banking account!Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:

I'm definitely in again and 1st Dec is good for me too.
My total is creeping up slowly, by just £2 this week but I have several tcb's that could become payable at any time in addition to points accumulating on several loyalty cards, so I will continue to save over the next 5 weeks.

OMG, the person behind me at Asda was buying her Xmas turkey! I thought maybe she had an imminent family feast instead but overheard her telling the cashier that it was for Xmas :xmassmile0
