    No. 13 checking in. £1.02 added to the pot. Just change from my pocket. Pay day will arrive this coming week, so will try and get ahead and put larger amounts into the pot where possible.

    Hi everyone!

    #31 checking in! I had let things slide as I was away but pleased to report my pot is now bang up to date and is keeping a total of £118.49 warm and cosy! :D

    Hi to all the new joiners, hope you can achieve some savings targets and have fun while you're here!

    Back to the grind tomorrow, just going to keep thinking of those pennies to fill my pot!

    Enjoy what's left of the weekend!

  • #32 weekly check in - added £8.95 this week instead of £2.17, not a massive amount but hopefully if I keep going over every week it will all add up!

    Terrible week for credit card though, boiler broke down so had to fork out £200 for repair, is week before payday and going away next weekend so had to put it on the card. Planning to pay it straight off on payday on top of my usual payment. To be honest in this weather you can't really put a price on having heating and hot water! However it has made me see that I really should have an emergency fund for these sorts of things.

    So my January total is £73.85 instead of £4.96 if I had just been sticking to the penny a day rule. Very happy with this!

    Enjoying reading all of your posts - well done everyone!

    Hi all

    I've been dropping different amounts in my tin. Ticking off as I go. Some days I have more change than others so it works for me to do it this way :)

    Well done all
