    Ooh yes I'd like to join this too... I did something similar last January when I was unaware of the forum and unforunately cracked halfway through the year. I'm determined to do it though this year!

    Better luck this & next time vixta7! ;-) Why not start again right NOW and keep saving until December, you may be surprised at how much you'd save in that time.

    Welcome to the thread! Molly will say hello and give you a number when she's next here, quite possibly tomorrow. For now, keep stashing!

    Hiya stunty ....and all.

    No idea stunty, (though yesterday sometime) it had gone when I came on last night. D'you know, I never thought I could get so addicted to saving as I have on this thread.

    Hubby wanted to borrow £1 yesterday. I said I'd take £5 from our holiday pot (only notes in there) as I was NOT breaking into me Sealed Pot for anyone. So I gave him the fiver. He brings back the £4 change saying he'll give me the other £1 today .....but I couldn't put it in the holiday stash (no coins remember) so it HAD to go in the Sealed Pot ................. which means he STILL owes me a £5er anyway!!! :rotfl::T:rotfl:I'm a confirmed saver!!!!

    Sue

    Great going Surfbabe (new year, new pot ....go for Pete?) and PrincessPeach, though PP how can you keep all that money as a ruddy doorstop, I'd be terrified someone'd nick it!!! :eek:

    It AIN'T me stunty ......honest!!!!!

    Reading about sparky's shenanigans, I reckon he's got a magnifying glass out and is down on his knees searching for any spark of metal that could be termed as possible (mostly) buried treasure!! I've almost given up scouring pavements and car parks, people are FAT too careful with their money these days. Must be the credit crunch!:rolleyes:

    Things is fine here thanks stunty, I never let owt get me down .....what's the point in doing so! It sounds as though you're good too? along with your young niece and anon GF on here!:p Look after yourself stunty, it's good to see you again.

    Hiya Stunty,
    There definately is a credit crunch on, because every blighter seems to be keeping hold of their change, DW was trying clothes on and asking me what I thought, and all I could do was look at the ground for dropped coins (gonna get a crick in my neck, or a kick up the backside from DW lol)

    You'll have to keep us posted as to which mystery woman Mrs S is, when you find out (scary!)
