    I miss Queenie :( She had so much wisdon and experience and her posts were always full of useful stuff.

    I still use her PMS principles. I've saved quite a chunk.

    Wish she would come back :(

    I still do this. Not such a huge total of late though - think £1000 was a one-off. I don't text as much as I used to so don't top up so much, but still use the Boots vouchers.

    Good luck for all PIN saver in 2009

    I'm going to do this aswell this year. Today I went to the post office to get a stamp and was going to get a treat from the confectionary (oops) then thought about all the lovely things in the house so instead put the money in my pin money pig- not a massive amount, but hey its a start!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Hi lysasparkles,

    Unfortunately Queenie, the original poster, stopped posting and the thread just dropped down the board. Now that you've bumped it up, perhaps more people will want to join in and it will begin again. :)
