    haribouk, last year I bought a sealed tin from a pound shop. Might have a go making a papiermache pig this year though! I think there are instructions for them round here somewhere.

    Hiya lilmissmup! I'm glad you ARE sticking with us again next time!!! We'd have really missed you, and personally, I don't mind if people need the money they've saved, I'd far sooner they broke into it than didn't pay a bill or whatever. The main thing is that we're saving and .....can re-start again too! However, if folk can stick to it, then far best to do so - bit if the chips are down.... :D Terramundis are expensive, think on it and see.

    Keep saving folks - we've still time to gain more pounds ....or pence! :dance:

    Sue

    Well breaking into my pot helped me to became debt free one month early so i don't regret it.

    I can't wait to see everyones totals!

    I was thinking the pound/discount stores, but i quite like the idea of doing something papiermache with the little one - could be fun!

    Thank you

    Hi Sue,
    I can't remember what was decided about keeping our old numbers for next year. Do we come on to the new thread and say we want our old numbers? Or do we say now that we want to keep our old numbers? Or do we just get allocated a new number on the new thread? I've confused myself now!!:D

    Hi everyone!

    I haven't posted much lately on here but I keep dropping in to see what's happening.

    I can't wait to empty my demi-john on the 1st but even then I won't be able to sort it out until I get home from work which is even more infuriating :mad:

    I would like to take part in this challenge again next year too.

    I cannot believe how the time has flown.

    Good luck everyone, I hope we all reach our targets.
