    well, I haven't been here for ages and ages and ages!
    How is everyone doing? no, don't answer that, I think I'll go back and read the thread...

    My jar is about a 3rd full now... mostly coppers and silvers.
    I think I'm doing okay though...

    well done to everyone - keep it up!!!

    I've actually got 2 sealed pots now. One which I am aiming to open on Dec 1st. I want to put £366 in this one £1 per day for the year. I add to this whenever I have the money. It currently is up to date to February 22nd (next pay day) so has £84 in.

    The other pot is loose change I do not count how much I put in and will be opened on December 31st or when full.

    This seems to be working well for me now as I wasn't sure in the beginning whether to count or leave as a surprise. Now I am doing both.

    Well done to the saver who has already filled up once. You will so appreciate those carpets after being hard saved for. Much better than credit and seeing them getting soiled before even paid for.

    Much admiration to you.

    Hello all, just a quick update to say that Phil the pig is failing to fill at the moment, so I'll just update my signature each time he gains 5g if that's ok. Hope you are all doing well and I'll try my best to catch up with the thread soon. :)
