    Can I join?! I did something similar before I found this board - managed to save £5 in coppers, felt very proud of myself. Join this, i'll add in Silver - my target is going to be £300 to give my family a really, really nice christmas without worrying (My OH will deserve it!)

    I'm going to leave this challenge - I need every single penny at the moment, and so can't save them all. I'm still going to follow this thread, but not add in my own. I hope you understand x

    Hi everyone, Welcome back, mumzy. I'm glad you've re-joined us. Even though you've had to use your pot money, it was you who inspired me to start saving change and stop wasting it on cups of latte and magazines and other rubbish - so, thank you........:beer:
