    Well, here we go my last words on this thread, as from x amount of hours it'll all be over to the new thread!!!! You won't be able to miss it!

    Firstly, more warm welcomes to lunar, joop, fedupandskint, Snow White, mogwai, little_miss_moneysaver, lilgrayfox, k8eh and chunky!!!:j It was so good to see so many more again today (yesterday now!). The new thread will be on the DFW board, same as this one and you'll all find your numbers on there very soon!


    Oh Sparky, sssh ...:silenced: we were both so thrilled to bits with the £163.95 that all he did was to keep saying how well I'd done and how he'd help me even more next year!!!! :o How the blazes could I own up, bless him!! :kisses2: Well done on your GREAT amount, Stunty also!! I bet Mrs S & Mrs S were delighted too! Brilliant Surfbabe, what an amount for Spot to carry around as he ate at the trough!! The friends made part definately goes for me too, thanks you've ALL been terrific and long may it last on the other thread! :j Good for you too huxley, irishwexford, skinty and Buffy what a difference it makes! You too Molly, Nyk - and Phil of course, Puzzled and teeny!!!! We keep the same numbers teeny, what d'you want me - grey over night!!! :doh:Well done ellie, target is done for next year. More great amounts for Di-dough and Trying to save as well!!! :T


    mickey mouse, it's taken me that much by surprise that I'm not sure what to do with it yet, may even carry on saving and put that away. Good for you Jordan, that's the way it's done! You're already in for next year debtfreefuture and have the same number, well done with a GREAT result. You too oopalah, greenface, lilmissmup, SpendHappy, Skippycat, Wrinkled English Rose,and PrincessPeach!!! :T That's still a far better result than if you hadn't saved tootifrooti, so don't knock it, better luck next year. A brilliant amount saved dizzybee, and 98sidney!!! :T

    greenface your number is 238, the same as last time, why not put it in with your signature!


    I'll put a link to the new thread on here as soon as I've put it on.

    The rest of this thread is Molly's to finish up after everyone has put their totals on.

    Thank you so much for that fermi! Molly and I were a little concerned about that as it wasn't originally started by either of us and we didn't want any one dragging it back to use later on. Thank you so much for that reassurance.

  • Well done everyone, I know I have been useless in posting so sorry about that!!!

    I did open my pot in Oct to pay for a tree to be felled in our garden to save it trashing the house!
    Ours came to £125 a bit short of my target ;) but it really did help! I will join again but put all odd coinage in as that is less of a temptation to open ;)

    Hi everyone!

    I would like to give my total in of £52.76,

    It should have been more but I had to spend the £118 of £2 coins I had as I suffered a money drought in August ( mainly due to paying 7 weeks of nursery fees, ah well that's life).

    Will do better this year since my youngest is starting school in January, so i look forward to seeing all of you in the new challenge.

    Good luck all!!
