    I'm quite tempted to do this - I already have one of those terracotta pots which I put £1/£2 in, but it stays at home whilst I am at uni, so I might do something for when I'm at university. *thinks*

    Pap where is your mozzies challenge i cant find it would love to do this. My bought me 800 cigs back from cyprus (she lives there) so i wont be buyign cigs for a long time. does moozies challenge include money u spend on food thats budgeted for as im in the grocery challenge. cant wait till the 1st jan when i start all these challenges

    this weeks has been up, the next one will start saturday evening (when i get back from work). No if your food money is budgetted that doesnt count. Its the extras... so examples ~ the paper in the morning, the bus ride to work instead of walking, the phone top up, the cups of tea in work, the sweet after you have filled up your car with budgetted petrol etc etc.... Obviously these might not be applicable to you but i hope you get the idea.

    Its hard to work out a budget really but look at the week and say you have a coffee morning wednesday and then you have to buy your magazine on Thursday then on friday you take the children to soft play you could say wed i would need £6 thursday i would need £1.10 and friday £12 (includes a drink for you) so that would total £19.10 so lets say £25 for any extras through the week :D and there is your budget and the 'challenge' is to get it below that to get turned green :rotfl:easier said than done believe me ;)

    I've got about £10 of £2 coins in one pot and about £25 in my other, as I've decided on 2 sealed pots now. At this rate I should have plenty in time for next Christmas :beer:

    Hope you're doing ok too, sounds like it :)
