  • Can I join in please?

    I read the DFW threads, haven't posted for a long time. I need motivating to save.

    I have a few different sized money boxes (all empty) so as much as I would love a terrimundis I will use what I have.

    Oh dear this thread is costing me lots of money mumzy!!! :p

    Just went on topcashback to do my daily clicks, looked at new retailers and saw gadgetshop, now when i went to Bingo this week everyone got a shot tender from there so thought i would see how much it cost, £1.95! LOL cheap bingo gits!

    Anyway as i was nosying around anyway i saw this and had to buy it....

    Will come in handy when i smash/shake my jar next year. I think i will be shaking it as spent £19 on it!

    But at least i got 10% cashback for the coin sorter.

    Think i need to log off the pc today, cost me £50 being on here today, not moneysaving! :eek: :p

    I got mine for Christmas from my sister. I would definitely recommend asking santa for one ;)

    I've actually had to empty mine once already. I couldn't bear to smash it so I shook it up and down for about seven hours solid instead!


    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: sorry this made me laugh out loud! Not only did you get your money but a really good aerobic work out for free!

    I'd like to join too please? Will use my wisky bottle for challenge and I might try and get a terramundi as my leaving present from work. Have been offered a better job and will be relocating in early 2008 so this may make me save towards a holiday rather than on house etc when I get one I hope next year.

    Will count the money I already have in the bottle next week (only a few £££) and start again on 1st.

    Yay, another bottle owner! lol. Too many Terramuni's around here! ;)

    ooh you have got me all excited now. If December 1st is the start date, I guess that means that I will open my piggy's/bottle/elephant (yes I have an elephant bank!), and see how much I have got. :j :j Woohoo!PS I am in!
