Good morning everyone,
I hope you have all had a good Christmas and I see there is a lot of saving going on;)
I have allocated numbers to everyone who has asked to join us. Welcome to all our new members and Welcome back to those who have joined in this challenge in previous years. You won't be disappointed next Christmas when you count all those ££££'s:p
All totals have been updated where requested and I see we are off to a flying start...Brilliant!
I'm off work for a couple of days now so will pop in a little more often than I have been able to recently (too many things on the go at the moment:(:()
Good Luck with this challenge to all of us, it is fantastic how much you are able to save throughout the year just by putting a small amount away regularly.
Take care

Only just opened the 2016 tin and very happy with what was in there - have put my total on the 2016 thread. Going to aim for £730 again for this year. A lonely £2 in the tin today.The person who moves a mountain begins by carrying small stones.
