Is it too late to join? I actually started the other day having read this thread, but them couldn't find it again! I have made a sealed pot from a shoe box with a hole in it and liberally wrapped in selotape - and no-one is getting there till next December...I've already got about 25 pounds in there (unexpected Christmas pressie!) so think I will set an aim of...ummm...250 pounds. It should fit in well with my other challenges, I hope to a) -stick to my budget b) -win 2008 worth of prizes and now... c) - save up 250 in my sealed pot challenge

Hi
I've always come to MSE site when I've needed inspiration so this time I'm going to join in! I'd saved over £150 in £2 coins in the last year so I'll aim for £200 to be realistic.
Cheers

No mumzy I don't count my coins, I just throw into my demi-john whatever I don't like the look of in my purse.
Coppers, 5p and 10p normally.
I have a tin for £2, £1, 50p and 20p.
I am considering putting 20p into my demi-john too to bulk it up a bit.
Like the pig stuntman.
Haven't we seen him before somewhere?
Wasn't he a stunt double for one of the A-Team? LolKarma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -
