Well done people.
I'm delaying my opening as I'm stuck in the middle of an assignment I just have to get done, and this lovely money will be such a distraction! I can see it now - I'll be browsing holidays, making plans, buying stuff... and I'd never get this thing done!
My bags are here and waiting though and I'm still saving.somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's0 -
Sophiesmum, again... wow! I only save small change and will be happy if I have £100. Still holding off opening 'Phil the pig', but I really, really, really want to open him now!
Well done, Taka!
Going to check back the pages now and see if anyone else has opened theirs yet.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

I haven't got the patience for making my own pig, and didn't want to spend money on a savings pot, as I think that will just put me in a debit balance!!
So tonight I found an old Stork margarine tub and have (badly!) wrapped it in Christmas paper to remind me of why I am saving the money. It has £1 in itnow - coppers I counted earlier, and all of my loose change will be going in there.
Good luck with the savings all0 -
