Sorry just realised I put £32 in last month so now have £63.
I am saving lots of change as well so it will be a nice surprise in December.
Thanks Ellie.

Totals updated Marco;)

I do the same, I save my change too. It's amazing how quickly it all adds up:cool:

2 shiny £2 coins straight in the pot. I will hopefully have a bigger than £366 surprise come December.

Last year I saved £2 a day but threw the odd extra £1 in when I could and OH did too. My target was £730 but I actually saved an extra £128 so keep putting those extra's in, they do make a difference:cool:

Put my Feb money in the pot and made up my shortfall from starting late i now have a lovely £91 in my envelope there's something very satisfying seeing it in its envelope.

Definitely satisfying and a great sense of achievement:D

Morning everyone.

Not sure whether I remembered to update last month or not?

Ellie I'm sorry to hear that you had a family emergency...I hope all is well now.... xXx


I'm falling a bit behind but not giving up....It just might take me a few Weeks to get back to it....But I'm still here and still plugging away.... The great thing is that I haven't had to use what I DO have in the Tin already...so I'm pleased with that....

Hi Helen,


All is fine now thanks, my young grandson gave us a bit of a fright and had to be rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties:eek:


Don't give up with your savings, you have time to get back on track and as you say you haven't had to use what is in your tin. Even if you fall short of £366 by the end of the challenge, I'm sure whatever you save will be a bonus towards Christmas;)
