    Evening everyone

    Hope you have all had a lovely day ....

    Well on the sealed pot front.... i need to register a 2nd one under my number, Hubby has decided that he is going to put this years xmas money from him into a tin (told him i don't want to know how much it is) and then add to it all year...then i can open it on Dec 1st 08 and the money is mine to treat myself to what i want....

    We came up with this idea as every year he struggles to think of what to get me, and i normally only come up with things that i would like -but they are for the house, and to be honest - at the moment i get more enjoyment from saving...how sad am i LOL...... so i will have 2 sealed pot to open next year ..wooohooo

    well have a lovely evening everyone

  • Merry Christmas.

    Hubby and the kids bought me my Terramundi, so I have now fished out the £1 coins out of the demi-john and transferred them over to that.

  • Hellooooo everyone, I am quite new to martins money savers in comparison to some of you but if you dont mind i would like to join your challenge. I have a sealed tin which i bought on ebay for £3.95 round about october and i have about £30 in it. I am hoping to save £50 per week from the 7th of jan as i am starting a new job as a postie, i wish you all the best and i hope i can stick toyour challenge. xxx
  • I'd like to join in too please :)

    Any funds raised will be going towards my savings goal of £3,600 per year - ultimately will go towards a deposit on a house!

    I was thinking about buying a Terramundi - but to be honest it seems daft to pay the best part of £20, only to smash it...Perhaps I'm becoming too frugal? ;)

    Think I'm going to call into the £ shop tomorrow, or whenever they reopen, and pick up one of the sealed tins :j

    I need to put in about £42 a month to reach the £500 goal so on target so far!!!
