Still not withdrawn any cash abd hubby will buy top up milk and bread on debit card so still cash free zone.

I've just signed up to mse after reading all of your posts, I'd really like to join this group please.
You've inspired me to try and save as I'm due number 3 in 20 days :eek: and would like a pot to put towards a car at the end of the year.
Ive already super glued the lid of an old biscuit tin down and stuck about £15 in change in there
Thanks x

Many thanks indeed for welcoming our latest members, 3forholidays :staradmin and Frogletina.:staradmin Another lovely gold star for you both.
Well Miss DM, thank goodness for change potted due to breakfast bought because of the need to go to work during Christmas! :think: As much as it made me giggle it was certainly a great way of feeding your pot too!! :rotfl:I'm sure I should be guiding you away from expenditure, but.. what can I say!! A very happy New Year to you!
You're very welcome, ploppy. Don't knock the 95p potted, it's still a great beginning to saving for Christmas!Time will tell whether you'll need another pot, for now be content... and proud!! :grinheart
You're off to a pretty good start, dawnyblue, so where are you hunting tomorrow!Good work.
Really good to hear, datlex! It's surprising just how different we think when saving.
Well done in rewarding yourself for an NSD, Iheart!! I think it's a really great idea.
You're doing brilliantly, Raggle, by anyone's standards! Good work with the crisps. :rotfl: I'll leave you to debate your 'how to pay' dilemma, but hopefully you'll still end up feeling fluffy!!!
Nice work with the £1, NannyG.
Very well done, Llynsey!!Seaotter wrote:Hello Sue
So sorry to have gone missing, real life got in the way. SPC11 has a lovely total which was so useful at Christmas - I just need to find the old envelope which I wrote the number on and then I’ll declare it. Please can I join SPC12 - I’ll need a new number though!
Thanks!

Haha that's a great idea Sue! The suspense is killing me and we're only in January. Hubby did say at least you know what's in the bank so tin should be a surprise. My excuse is that I may have to increase my target if it keeps going ok.Finally Debt Free 24/4/20230

Another 50p potted today when OH came back with some change from his trip to the village.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

I’ve added a couple more coins to my pot so now have £45.30. I don’t think I’ll be able to add much in the next few weeks as my budget for January is quite tight but I’m hoping to get over the £50 mark by the end of the month.CC Debt:£450 Emergency Fund: £1,500 Sealed Pot Challenge 2020 #042: £750

Sue: I think I've added my number to my signature, I don't know how to tell on the mobile site. Also (I might just be being dense) but I can't see where to subscribe to the thread, I'm using my mobile.
On the plus side I managed to raid hubby's pockets when he got back from work and scavenged the grand total of.. 6p :rotfl:~2019 penny challenge: £0.28/£667.95~
