    I have 3 seperate saving pots.

    1 for Christmas 2018,
    1 for Emergency fund
    1 for wedding ,

    should i choose 1 to focus on or count all the money saved?
    I agree with jakes-mum that I think you can count them all. So long as it's actual savings that's fine :D

    I shall be a bit sporadic with my posting for a while, things are not good in the jakes-mum household and I need to concentrate on sorting things out :( I shall read along though so everyone needs to post lots to keep my morale up :o
    Soo sorry to read this and hope things are soon sorted for you and life gets back to (your) normal.

    Is it too late for me to join please? I have a nutty chocie jar with my name on (my darling ducklings seem to think I have a bad memory!) so I shall use that if I can find some way to cover the glass bits.

    I have no idea how much I want to save so will just lob any change I have in there.

    Started off with 2.57 spare in my purse. x Thanks xx
