    I have a 3 litre empty vodka bottle which I throw all of my change in. I bag it up every now and then and hide it.

    Please can I join? No target as yet but would like number 73 as that’s is my year of birth

    Will update my signature once I find out how

    Thanks

    I went to B&M earlier and bought a rainy day fund jar. It isn't actually sealed, but given it was same price as the sealed ones and is easily reusable, I felt it was a good buy. I have already put aside the money to pay the window cleaner when he next comes. Through out the week I have been putting aside any coins into a small pot. This was in case it was needed during the week. This evening I put in any money that was left into the rainy day fund. No idea how much, it was.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Hi

    Please can I be added to the list, I don’t mind which number I’m given.

    I’ve just added £1.71 to my empty jar and am hoping to have £200 in spare change by October 2019.

    I also have an online only savings account that I’m paying into monthly and £950 credit card debt that I’m paying down so I want to set myself an achievable target for this challenge.

    I’m currently only able to work part time due to health issues but I try to work overtime when I can so hopefully I’ll soon be debt free and building up my change jar ��

    Morning all!

    Another few coins put into my jars over the last week, although I do have a note left from the grocery spends last week that I've not put in as yet........ Why am I struggling to put a note in?!! :o:o:o

    On a much sadder note, STILL no roadkill! I don't think I've ever went this long without at least finding a penny somewhere! Those pesky coins know they are getting hidden away for a year :rotfl:
  • Hi Sue,

    Please can I join the challenge? Thank you!
  • It's lovely seeing people still joining the mission. I find this thread full of great ideas and inspiration. My surveys on PA have dried up it seems so I've hit cash out today £14.43. I'll update total once cleared and fees paid. I'm still going with one pill and just over £15 but long way until min £30 withdraw.

    No road kill and no food budget leftovers as paid on card! I need to sort this out!
