    Ok folks,



    I think we've just about had all the declarations we're going to get for this year, should any others still declare I will add them to the Grand Total on my signature so you can still see them.
    So, without further ado, here is.......


    This year’s GRAND TOTAL is £46.279.29!!!!!! WHOOPEE!!! :j:j:T:j:j
    This honestly was so much more than I'd expected folks, not as much as last year but it’s an excellent Grand Total and all down to the terrific potting of us all!! Congratulations folks on a brilliant GT!!!! :dance::T:dance: :xmassign::xmastree::xmassmile

    Over £46K is a lot of money, especially given it is money that would have been squandered or lost previously.
    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.
  • I'll be using the money saved during this challenge to go towards my emergency funds instead of the wedding, Only because I'm worried about saving up for just one thing.

    I've Saved £11.54 in my virtual sealed pot and I found some change in a piggy bank which I thought was empty. Not counted it yet but will update will my whole total when I've done.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend !

    Hi everyone
    Fabulous total, congratulations to you all and I hope to be part of it at the next opening in October.
    Ive been potting the odd bit of change but come to a stop this weekend as I haven't been out anywhere to spend money!!! I did find a penny down the settee but that's all.

    Thanks for my number Sue-UU!

    I potted my first 25p in coppers the other day! I discovered when I lifted my Terramundi that there was a small amount of coins in there, so I've left them in as a bonus!

    Forgot to check in last week. But potted my weekly £10 and I think roughly around £4 in coins went in over the weekend :)
