Loving your saving tips x

This is a really good idea. I'm just starting a diet so I hope that you won't mind if I steal this from you! Hopefully it will motivate me to stay on track! More pounds lost = more £s in the pot!

Your most welcome to use this idea, I lost another 1 pound this week so I've just added £1 to my tin. I hope to loose at least 2 stone by feb, more would be nice. Lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks

Added a bit more yesterday, I didn't spend quite as much as I thought I would shopping so the change went straight in the pot xx

Count me in my DW and I are going in september 2013!

Going to buy a tin today to start saving!!!

 

[tinkerbells mum]

Just saved £1.50 in the dry cleaners by asking for NHS discount so that's going straight in the tin. Glad to see everyone is doing well xx

Ok scrap what I said before! I have less than 4 weeks to go but want to see just how much we can save in that time!

I've had two pots before, I think one had £800, the first had £1200 in it!

The new one was only bought a little while ago so I think there's only about £100 ish in that one BUT my children all have one too and they've had theirs for a while!

My baby boy's one is smaller than ours his is almost full! My other two children have theirs around half full, so I'll add everything we've all got together just before we go

Can I have a number? We leave on the 10th of October 2012, we'll be smashing the pots a few days before!

Stole all the loose change out of hubby's wallet & added it to the pot. Don't worry he is used to it.

 

[tinkerbells mum]

It's the end of the week so I've added all the loose change in my purse. I'm sure I've got enough to get my first Mickey Bar now lol xx

Not managed to save any more momey.
I don't use cash most of the time so this is proving really difficult.

Just curious as to which dry cleaners that you used? I didn't know that any dry cleaners gave a NHS discount!

 

[catherine]

Added all my loose change that's left over from the last few days!

We hardly use cash too, everything possible goes on our Virgin Amex card so we earn miles!

Aswell as my savings tins, I have a seperate online sayings account, so if I save anything on my weekly shop etc I transfer it from my regular account to my holiday savings account....basically a virtual savings pot.

Got two savings tins this afternoon - the kind you need to open with a tin opener so I can't get into the tins until they're full cause I'm a disaster for "robbing" from my savings but now I've no choice but to wait Love the idea of this diddldonna!! When I have all my savings for our next trip I'll have you to thank for it

I already have an online savings account and I put anything under £1 in there whenever I get paid, or log onto my account, but in 6 months I only have £57......
