Last Post

As this will be my last post for 2011  I thought I would end with my plans for 2012.  I want to make 2012 a year of saving instead of spending and I have started by joining Saving for Travels sealed pot challenge.  For the last few years I have been saving £2 coins but the tin I was using wasn't sealed and it was too easy to "borrow" a bit of change so I have been on the lookout for a sealed pot.  Most of the ones you see in the shops are really quite posh and very expensive at around £12 so I was thrilled when I found these in B&M today at the bargain price of 89p each.  I had some £2 coins left over from the Christmas shopping savings and I have been adding the odd bit of change to the tin including 20p everytime I have a no spend day with the hope that by December when we all open our pots there will be enough for lots of lovely christmassy treats.


I plan on using the red one to start with and if its a bumper savings year will carry on with the second, if not that can be saved for 2013 challenge. 

Do you have any plans for 2012?

Thank you for reading and I do hope you have a wonderful New Year.

    What a great idea Karen, we used to save £1 coins but as you say tended to dip in when we needed some change. I hope your 2012 is fabulous xxx

    They look great - and we now have a B&M within 20 miles so next time we are out in that direction, I will pop in and see if they have any left.

    Thanks for your comments on my blog - it is lovely to know who is reading xxx
