Hi Mollymop, I only started the spendingdiary on 1st January, so it's only showing the loose change I put in from my 4k challenge this year. I have no way of knowing how much is in Phil from December and have no intentions of opening him before next December. I've done a 'piggy bank saving' as a Christmas present for the past few years and each Christmas the complete bank gets given away, so I have a good reason not to borrow from it I'm not one for carrying cash, so my total amount has never reached as much as £50 within a year. Don't worry, I won't actually cheat and count it

OOOOH no no no, that is cheating. sealed pot, hello. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hello The bank is completely sealed, don't worry :rotfl: I have no idea how much is inside, but I do know how much change from my shopping budget goes in each week. If I didn't put this in then I wouldn't have any change at all. I thought the object of this challenge was to save in a sealed pot so we couldn't spend it, but aim to save whatever we stated at the beginning. The surprise will still be there, especially for Phil the pig when I approach him with a knife or hacksaw next 1st December

LOL I don't usually count mine in except I just knew how much change I had in my purse yesterday, but other than that I have no idea :j and thats the exciting bit :rotfl: - how sad must my life be to get excited about small change :rotfl:

No spend today but I did find some change in hubbys pockets which I nabbed :T:T

Going to have to do it in secret as OH has a habit of spending any loose change! hehe

Got £1 in it already so wish me luck, and good luck to everyone else!

theunknownstuntman

i have a sneaky feeling she lurks on here Shelley...... lol. its just a couple of things she said..... she's very much into martins philosephy, thinks he's brill! (But not as brill as me obviously!)

Can I join?? Got a money box that totals up how much I put in (nifty I know :P) so I can see how much I'm saving which is motivating I think! I'll just empty it and put it in another pot when it's full but keep the total up ^^ I'll just keep going although can I be naughty and go for 6 months not 12? Holiday in July :P
