I really loved it.
If you're really concerned LMM then get some Bach's Rescue Remedy from a chemist or health food shop, it's great stuff. Have a GREAT time!

my second tin is about half full now. Saving small change has become a way of life, I never have any coins for car parking these days. Would love to know how much I have saved but will wait for December.0

Firstly can I now I've kinda recovered from the shock of the total in my Terramundi (all I could mutter to anyone for a few days was £921.50, £921.50 and nothing else was remotely coherent!) can I just say thank you to you all for your kind words.
A few have asked me what I want to do with the contents, erm well I suddenly feel like Scrouge from the Christmas Carol film and want to keep it for ever in a bank account and never touch it again. So hard and so long to save up but yes there is quite a few things I'd like to spend it on, for example....
I'd love one day to buy my council house I'm in, and it would be a great deposit.
Take my kids to Alton Towers and stay in one of their posh hotels (have 3 teenage sons).
Get my loft refloored as the council had to take up the flooring I put down to fit the new insulation down and the old flooring will not go down again as I need to build up the beams as the insulation is thicker and it will cost a few £100 to redo it.
Treat myself to a new bed as mine is really gubbed and the Marshall Ward offer never worked out (boo hiss to Marshall Ward and inconsiderately not giving me a kingsized mattress for pennies).
I could go on, but to make sure I don't squander it, the money has been put in the bank, but that's another story for another post.
Good luck to everyone with their savings and it goes to show you small saving's really do add up and you don't really miss it. Keep filling those pots and enjoy the euphoria you get when you finally do open it. It's a great feeling!0 -
So keep right on saving in the same way Joyce and ....you may well have it all ......some day! Though I think it's in the right place just now.
Very best of luck.
