    £2 coin in my pot today, change from buying bread and milk this morning. I am both delighted and dismayed when I get £2 coins, delighted because they will go in the pot and dismayed because I can't spend them!

    hi all. DH found £5 on the floor today but decided to buy us a lottery ticket out of it as it was a lucky find. hopefully it will be lucky and we'll win something. fingers crossed. he used the rest to treat DD so only pennies went in the pot today. still better than nothing

    Hi
    Just wonder if i could join your challenge please!

    well had a jar of mixed coins just sitting on the side, so after reading this thread i took it to sainsburys were they have one of them coinstar machines and i got.... £28.04. Very surprised as mostly coppers.

    I got home and decided to seal the jar (as hubby usually raides jar for £ or 50ps!) and made a lil RAINY DAY FUND sticker.
    i found £1.90 in a pair of hubby jeans so that went in and i put a £2 back in from the £28.04. The other £26 is going towards credit card.

    So £3.90 in new sealed jar x
    Thanx for the inspiration x
