  • I picked up my tin and gave it a good shake and it's getting quite heavy.:D I have no idea how much is in there but I am still adding every day.

    Good morning all :)

    And the best thing is I haven't missed it at all, despite having to budget very carefully. Such a good way to save for Christmas extras!

    Tx


    I love my tins and it is a great way to save for Christmas. I'm never tempted to break into them no matter how skint I may be:o

    I've updated your total Crazy_cat_lady with the equivalent of £1 a day so any extra will be a nice surprise...let me know if you want me to change it to something else;)

    I don't get chance to come on the forums very often, but I just want to say I LOVE this challenge - I decided to start this in mid January last year and was soooo pleased to get to that magic £365 figure!

    Started again as soon as I finished that one, and am on £26 - I do mine online and transfer it into a separate account as I never have much loose change.

    Good luck to everyone saving for Christmas! :)

    Just wanting to see if I'm still on track....

    Had no internet at home for the last week (don't ask) and IMO forums are rubbish on tablets - I genuinely don't know how people can run their lives without a proper keyboard and a 22" monitor!!! :rotfl:

    Anyway, have updated all my totals as it's payday and another £31 for #77 has gone into the Saving for Xmas fund
