    Morning all and thank you for adding your names to this challenge, you won't be disappointed. Those pound coins soon mount up and you will be so glad this time next year when you have a lovely stash of money to spend;)

    I've added a few more people to the list:

    Starhut, I've given you number 14 (I didn't know whether you were superstitious about 13:o)

    MargB, your number is 15

    Rylee12, your number is 16

    Mylastpound, your number is 17

    My thanks to Karenccs67 for pointing out 2016 is a leap year so we will in fact save £366 if saving £1 a day. I won't change anything now but we know we will have that little extra:cool:

    Get your tins, money boxes and saving accounts at the ready and let's get saving from 1st December:D

    Morning Ellie....I would love to be included in this Challenge if that's okay.... :) I tried this Year but this Year has been very difficult finances wise so I had to drop out....But things are looking up and I believe I can do it this Year... :)


    If number 13 is still available then I'll have it please....I rather like that number :D


    I am aiming for £730....I am already doing the Sealed Pot so I'll have that for Christmas Pressies.....But this £730 I'd like to go to Winter Wonderland in London and maybe a Trip to the Theatre and also (if I can afford it) a short day-trip to Paris for my Birthday in January.... :D


    I've got a nice big Tin which I'm going to put a £2 coin in every Day....


    Hope that's okay....I can't wait to Join you all in this Challenge this Year...Let's make it a GREAT one!! xXx :D

    Ahhh, it was kind of you to think about that, Ellie!
    I'm not particularly superstitious but always good to err on the side of caution, particularly where money is involved :-)
    Thanks!
