I am a real sneak about this because there's a really easy way to cheat :rotfl: I signed up for www.spendingdiary.com (it's free) and account for every penny I spend as part of my other challenge. The by-product of that is that the website counts up all the odd pennies I put into Phil and the £2 coins I save, so other than what went in during December before I started my spending diary, will be showing as part of my running total. :cool:Phil got fed 29p today :T
Edited in: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I can feel all those virtual stones being thrown, you know! :rotfl:But I just KNOW that I won't be the only one watching where all the pennies are going.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

We went to see PS I Love You which was soooooo sad!
Anyway, the terramundi had £2 plopped in it this morning, am thinking that i should start keeping track of what i put in there so it keeps me going!
Hope you're all having a good weekend?
If you think the film is sad read the book I think it is soooo much better. Took my daughter to see te film last week and she loved it too whereas I was waiting for bits to happen (as they do in the book) and it was changed!
Anyway back to the terramundi.....I started filling mine in Dec and didn't keep a log off how much was going in...now I add "money to pot..." in my spends diary. I don't want to add it all up because I want that surprise when I open it but because I can't see in the pot, having it written down I can see that it is filling up!£2 savers club. No.90. Aim £500.0 -

Don't sneak a look though Nyk.Think of the surprise you could have in December.Isn't it better just knowing that Phil is putting on weight
i know that if I knew what was in my pot I'd want to "borrow" and put back some weeks.This way is much better.Not that i'm putting loads in though LOLlost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013
