Saving for Xmas 2016! - A pound a day

Ellieseleven

Hello everyone,

Great to see everyone joining in for this challenge, believe me you won't be disappointed;)

Way to go DreamerHelen, I have updated your target to £1000:D

Triangle, your number is 33

Justforme, your number is 34

Also, as others have said, there are various places you can buy the tins to save in. Poundland, B&M and Home Bargains, they all have similar ones. I bought mine from Home Bargains, they have an assortment of sizes (I bought two - being optimistic:cool:)

Not long now folks until we start saving:)

Thanks Ellie....I've started off my Tin with £8....Thought if I could put £4 in a day that would be great but there might be weeks when I can only put in £3 per day....so I'll keep my Target at £1000....


But I'm pleased that I've made a start

Triangle

Coca Cola tin sealed pot purchased from HB - £1.69

I'm all set! :j

Got myself a tin for 99p at B M this afternoon
It has a cat on it, dressed in a Santa suit, which I couldn't resist of course. And I popped a fiver in it to try and get me off to a good start.
I now have 8 various money boxes and tins lurking around the house - I really need to allocate them to something. At the moment I have a tin for Christmas next year, and a tin for holidays, plus a money box for 20p pieces and a money box for roadkill that I pick up. Think I'll make one a £2 coin pot but not sure about the others yet.

That's a lot of tins crazy cat lady!

I'm catching up slowly - I have 5! :j

Can I join please? Dh gets paid weekly so will be taking £7 out every week and transferring to a savings account. Will be using it for our extra expenses over Christmas (already save for food and gifts elsewhere), such as days out, decorations, panto trip, etc.
