Sorry Bubbs, but you've lost me as I haven't a clue what you're talking about, anyway I'll see you when you're ready. :think: You can certainly include cashback though, small wins too in the way of lottery etc.





Hi there Emily, thank goodness you're straight forward!

Excellent saving and congratulations!!!! :T I'm thrilled to bits for you both, and enjoy those prezzies together!! :j:j BTW, you're welcome as I enjoy it. See you over on SPC 12 tomorrow!

Sue, swipe and win in sainsburys was last weekend. Everytime you spent £10 you randomly got awarded nectar points between 200- 5,000. 200 is worth £1 , 5,000 £25 , but they do double up in a few weeks so £1 =£2 £25 worth £50 hth i got £197 worth face value double up £394, hth explains a bit

Everyone has done so well so far, congratulations to everyone. I just love love loveeeeeeee counting up day.

I emptied the huge pig last night and put all the money into sandwich bags ready to take to the bank this morning. I put three of them in my work bag and it was far to heavy, so I took two.

Total from the two bags was £291.34, i have another three bags to take tomorrow. I also have £350 in notes, $50 and €50.

I will update with the total total (!) tomorrow.

BTW, the coin machine in Nattiest is fun, it spins the money around like a washing machine it does't take much to entertain me!!

Well done again everyone, and special thanks to Sue for motivation us throughout the year. I certainly could;t do it without you.
