No change to pop in today
After putting mine in yesterday I haven't been out today so not had to draw any out of bank. So in a way that's a good thing too.

Evening All,
Well I finally succumbed, and I've done my snowball calculator, what a scary hour that's been, worked out that I will be debt free in 65 months or June 2013. I am definitely NOT staying in debt for 65 bl**dy months, so it's time to knuckle down and reduce my debt in the earliest possible time. I'm sick of working only to give it to someone else.
Just to let you all know you've been an inspiration to me, making me face upto my debt and I'd like to thank you all.
Will keep you posted as to my progress

I've just got a money tin sealed shut with lots of sellotape... it's pretty impenetrable so it doesn't present any temptation to take a few quid out, but it does mean that when it's full I can just peel the sellotape off without destroying it and start again... I agree the sealed tin things are quite cool though so if it helps you leave the money alone then go for it! :cool:Live on £4000 a Year Challenge member

I have a sealed tin which needs a can opener, sellotape would just not be enough to hold back DH I'm afraid, whereas if he got a tin opener to my tin he knows I would kill him :rotfl: Few more bits in last night for me, can't really put in all my £1 & £2 coins tho as really skint now :rolleyes:Sealed pot Member target £200 - No. 151
