    I know it's late but can I join? I have been coin stashing since Jan '08 so I'm on track :) Can I aim for £400?

    Thank you!

    Just opened my sealed pot - it was getting heavy, so i figured it would be better to pay what i have into my sealed-pot savings account to start earning interest.

    £97 waited inside - not bad for a shade over 2 months saving :beer:. Plus £640-odd quid in the sealed-pot savings account, plus about £39 just about to enter the account from quidco/topcashback - it's incredible how quickly it mounts up when it's not just in your pocket where it can get frittering away on nothing. Going up to the bank later to pay it in with a smile on my face.

    Now, time to solder the savings can shut again :D
