    Is it possible to join as a latecomer? Have just started back on the DFW treadmill after falling off badly. I'm happy to open on 1st December or whenever everyone else is.

    Hi, exessexmum. i don't think it will be to late for you to join, mumzyof2 should be along at some point and she will sort out a number for you. im sat hear looking at 3 x £2 coins that i have, wondering if i should put them in my pot or not :confused:. i don't need to buy anything today, except for my cigs and i have the money for them, so guess it looks like the £6 pounds is going in. :T
    Back on MSE again! to take control of my finances and not let it control me. :T May grocery challenge £41.96/140

  • Hi! I would also like to join as a latecomer! Although I did get a pot for xmas and already have started - only just found this forum!! Thanks!

  • exessexmum-the coins have now gone in my pot.

    In Search Of Me- i was trying to catch up the post about MOT, but was struggling as well. the pots are going to be opened on the 1st dec, in time for christmas as some are going to use the money to pay for christmas.

    Diana Prince- mumzy will sort out your number for you.

    good luck to all the newcomers and welcome to the mad house :rotfl:
