    My aim is to fill my tin with £1 and £2 coins.

    We are on quite a tight budget, so fingers crossed :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Just realised that my quidco income this month would buy a rather nice terrimundi.....No I WILL be good! I will be saving any under £1 coins left at the end of my week. I'll set a modest target of £150, which would be a lovely bonus for all the christmas food and drink next year. I'll probably get one of those sealed tins if poundland have them otherwise I will keep taking some out!

    Hi

    I don't really have an aim, although it would be nice to save to then cover DD's birthday party, Christmas dinner extras (crackers, nice chicken) and perhaps a meal for my birthday (just after xmas). So aiming for £100+. Not sure how much i'll be able to save as things will be quite tight from dec onwards.

    this is a great idea, please can I join in the challenge? I have wrapped up a small cardboard box in christmassy paper for my moneybox. I will put in all my change once a week I think & it would be brilliant to save £100 just from change towards christmas :) Not going to count it though, hopefully it will be a nice surprise!

    Hi

    I'll aim for £500 as a lot of others - I'll be the one in last place! But hey I can use it as a challenge! I'm going to include the £12 already in mine though as I can't see me getting £500 in a year :eek:

    I will hopefully just have bought a house by then if everything works out ok so will spend it on my new house :A .

    Could I join too please??? :D I've bought a large savings tin today (one of those ones you have to open with a tin opener). I'm aiming for £500 + hopefully. I've already got one savings tin that I'm saving pound coins in until next April so I can open a new ISA. I'll be keeping that completely separate though so it won't count.
