    Good to see you Molly. I still haven't got those darn bags yet, must get them next week.

    £1. 28p from a certain pocket a few minutes ago!!! :rolleyes:

    A great way of viewing it all huxley. Quite true and I think that's why it's so popular. Won't be too much longer now!:D

    Gosh, I've only just spotted this one - I did this before on my own and it paid for some work on my car. Can I join in the 2009 effort?

    Not long now. I am going to go to the bank this week and get some bags to get ready for the grand opening and big count up.
  • Evening all:D

    A large golden coin into my terramundi today:beer:

    And guess what?!?!?!?! Sealed pottie is full!:j

    So - I'm counting it this evening and banking it.:T

    VERY excited - I am a sealed pottie nerd:o:o:o

    My total will still be secret until 1 Dec though as my terramundi still had a little way to go before it's full.

    Will post my pottie total later - once it's all totted up.;)

    Hope you've all had a good weekend. It's been raining here.:mad: But luckily there was a break in the cloud last night, and we went to the river to watch the fireworks - gorgeous they were too!!!:D

    Twas £97 in my pottie. Was a little disappointed as there seemed to be so much, but that's £2 a week - so is pretty good really. I was obviously feeling greedy. :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    elliemoo - so how long then?? I thought you were being one of our totter-uppers - I dunno, just can't get the staff these days! :rolleyes: :p

    Little Chicken - I'll be squawking (scuse pun ...intended) like mad on here IF I can reach £97 by the 1st Dec, but you never know, could be possible(ish), must see if hubby can help me out!!! :rolleyes: Well done on that amout saved LC!!! :TAm I right in thinking you have the terramundi AND the pottie? How d'you feel about smashing your terra when the time comes? I don't think I could do it. Could always get it out using a knife I guess.....!!!! :eek: It's not that I'm tight, but I can't imagine doing it and seeing it lying in bits! :undecided :cry:

    Hi savvykaz and welcome! It's good to see you wanting to save money and join in the fun here. Of course you can join next year's challenge (starts 2nd Dec), it'll be good to have you with us, just ask again when we start up and I'll let you have your number. Meanwhile, you can still chat to us on here and we too would love to know how much you managed to save.

    Look forward to seeing you.

    OH got me a lovely giant black pig with "monster savings" written on the side, god knows how I will manage to fill it, but I will give it a really good go ;);)
    Good luck all.
