Cash Cow has had his first coat of paint and is drying nicely, photo shoot takes place tomorrow!
Got to admit to some underhand dealings here.... I'm going to give him to a member of the family and invite them to join me in this challenge. If they decide not to, the cash cow has to be returned (hopefully full) next December for my Christmas LOL I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Hi, thanks for this thread, I love a challenge!!
I will aim for £300 by 1.12.08 but am 5 days late starting!!
Can I also say that HSBC in Meadowhall (Sheffield) now has a loose change counter that you dont have to pay any commision to (7.9% commision for the coinstar machines currently in supermarkets). I know that few people who read this live in or near Sheffield but by next year these machines may be everywhere?!? Fingers Crossed x xJanuary 2010 £47,314.43October 2012 £28,075.140 -
Is it too late to join this challenge?
If not I would like to aim for £300 and will empty in anything below a 50p piece at the end of each day. (Is that how it is meant to work?)
Lol

MY CASH COW IS READY TO JOIN 'PHIL THE PIG'!
Gave up on the gold spray as weather has been atrocious and she'd have had to have been sprayed outside. So... here she is, just a plain old black and white fresian, or as I prefer to call it, a black and white freechange cash cow I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
