*****UK Spending Money Game No1*******

[diddldonna]

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

Thanks that is very kind of you, I wanted a fun idea to keep me motivated and others to stop me opening the tin before i need to. I am loving reading everyones savings every day x

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

it was Smarty Pants. i wasn't sure if they did NHS discount but i asked and he said "why not" and gave me 10% off!!! its always worth asking and i always carry my ID Card with me.

Just got back from town and I've put all the change in my purse in the tin. DD finished decorating it last night, it's got so much cellotape on it I'm not sure we'll ever be able to open it lol!

Me neither - but we did shop in Aldi & got tons of stuff for £30 and 2 weeks worth of meat at the butchers for £50 ;-)

My big savings will be from not buying lunch at work & big things like the Karen Millen bag I've got me eye on but as its £150 I'll have to take my eye off it I think!!!

No money added again today due to using my card and my bus pass is still valid until Wednesday so no change from that yet. Hope everyone else is having better luck.

None for me today either - we have a wedding on Thursday so I'll be raiding DHs trouser pockets on Friday morning for the change after his day of drinking! I should make a nice profit
