I had 4 £2 coins in my purse and I couldn't resist putting them in my tin. So, I've started a week early.. sorry if that's cheating

Shelly, I've been doing that two, deliberately keeping those £2 coins back from spending and shoving them in my tin


PuzzledBubbles I didn't realise they were selling the tins in pound shops too, thanks for pointing that out, hope everyone saves a bit by trying those shops first instead of Bhs.

Hi there Surfbabe, all is complete here with the list, adding to it as and when others come on! Much better now! :A


Thanks mickey mouse - 7 days counting down - til counting out??? Well done moneypooh, I've added £2.79 from the shopping today!!!:D

Thanks for the number mcjordi, though could you remind me of your aim on the new thread or I might put it on the old one thinking it is for this last one? Well done on your aim jpwhittle, though will you also please remind me again on the new thread ?

Thanks for the price rancid-a, I'll certainly go and have a look too.

Puzzled - Despite having the bags here ready, I too am still trying to make my mind up about whether to keep it in or spend. Maybe I'll count it out first, then decide??! I'm no good with decisions at all!!!

Naughty naughty Shelly!!! :mad: You're welcome oopalah. Reventon you do realise you already have a number and it's185 - yes?

Hi cally6008 and Norton Blade! You're welcome to join in for the next time, it'll be good to have you. Your numbers will be on the "brand new sparkly thread" on the 2nd. It won't be long now! :dance: Keep checking poundland and others as they may be restocking them with the rate we're all buying them at!!!

Hi Nix243 - You did indeed sign up this last time and your number is 070 Don't worry about having to use it - at least you had it to be able to!! I'm pleased to hear you want to go on with it next year too, good luck.

Hi to you paybacktime2008, you do know you're already on the list right??

Well, another £2.79 in the pot after shopping today!

Well done Sue !!!

Am looking forward to reopening Spot - you may recall I opened him in September to buy $$$ with while the rate was still reasonable!!

New piggy is going to be "Ziggy Piggy" - you'll see why from the photo when i finish him/her.

This sounds like a great idea! I've tried this before but always end up dipping into it in a weak moment or when i'm too lazy to go to a cash point. Count me in - i'll make my target £600, £50 a month .... hopefully, the thought of having to tell people on here that I crumbled will actually keep me going this time!

I very much look forward to meeting him/her Surfbabe I bought one cheap pot today, but still need another. I'm getting closer and closer to making one but frightened I'll mess it up. Do you keep the balloon on anything (for stability) or paper mache it loose, if that makes sense? Hubby bought a pot of glue last week in anticipation of me getting to grips with it - we'll see!

Hi ward_emmajane and wecome to our crazy, but great thread. I've added your name to my list and you'll see your number on the new thread on the 2nd Dec. Look forward to seeing you hopefully meet your aim!:D

Suu are you preparing the new thread already- I am even more excited. Was given a £2 coin in my change today in Tescos so may have to save that until the official start:D

cally6008

Just got my pot sorted out, an empty pringles tub, going to tape the top and cut hole in lid over next couple days. Cost 74p so cheaper than one from Poundland as Pringles on offer at Tesco's at the moment.

Evening all - and welcome to all newbies... this is a fab challenge and fairly easy to stick to:A

I wish you all lots of pennies between now and 1st Dec.:beer:

I'll be in Paris so am about to PM my total to Mumzy.

Will be here on 3rd though to read all of your totals. Can't wait.:j:j:j

Do you think when we bank our money it will be the boost the global economy needs?

mickey_mouse

have a great time in Paris - Little Chicken.

Hope you have a huuuge total in your pot

Monday is getting nearer:D

Puzzledbubbles

Evening all.

I have decided not to open my pot, i am going to leave it to fill until it is full, will then put it straight onto a debt (im all motivated, just decided im going to pay off £10k next year!!)

So, im gonna leave it to keep filling up, but will be on here on the 1st to congratulate all you lovely people on opening day!!
