Can I join too?? I am rubbish at saving money just spent the start of my savings on clothes at DLP

I actually started a tin off about 2 weeks ago, I have no idea what's in there so far. I've used an old Roses tin from christmas, dd and I sealed it with tape then decorated it with wrapping paper and covered that with a collage of wdw/Orlando inspired images from travel brochures etc I'm not saving anything less than 20p in the tin but have started a sub tin for coins less than that.

Also just commited to making some changes to save more for holidays, been 2 weeks so far of cycling to work again saving on average £4/day in bus fares and the biggie starts tomorrow ..... quitting smoking

Good luck everyone

[baylie666]

Can I join in please. We go 1st - 22nd October 2013.

I Have a coppers and 5p tin set for it, but I also transfer any odd amount under £1 from my main bank account to my savings every day, and whenever I log in or buy something. (love internet banking)

I have now decorated the Quality Street tin in Florida brochure cut outs and put it on the mantle piece next to our MK family photo. DD came home and immediately but the change from her dinner money in (30p),DS declined (typical)

I won the bonus ball game at work so I put the money into my container!

 

[thestevied]

Count me in Donna!

I'm going to wdw next September 21st.

I already have started two money saving tins.... One giant plastic bud bottle that I'm filling with coppers and silvers and one darth maul money box that I'm filling with £2 coins only that I get in my change. Can I start with these?

 

[thestevied]

Thanks for joining crabbie1 your no6 good luck in finding a jar or pot. A cheap way is to find a Pringles tube, wash it and sealed it with tape and cut a slit in the top also you get to eat he Pringles too.

love this, hilarious!!

Just spent a couple of hours counting all the money up (whilst watching the Murray match so thoroughly enjoyed it!). I've got £44 in £2 coins, and £123.70 in coppers and silvers. Just gonna keep going till September next year and see how high I can get it!

My DD and I have just finished decorating an old celebrations tin with Disney pictures. I've added some money to it today I was meant to be going out to lunch with an old work colleague but she ended up bringing lunch to me the money i saved went straight in the pot. It's a start but still a long way to go lol xx
