    Hi all... i put a few pennies in today. I used a gift voucher in Dorothy Perkins and was a little disappointed when the woman said she couldnt give me the 27p change. (I think it was the VAT saving) and that she hqd to give it back to me on a gift card!!! I think she relised it was a bit of a waste of time and gave me the 27p.... yay... I just kept thinkin in my head... but thats for my sealed pot, thats for my sealed pot... lol.... x

    I still haven't got a sealed pot,even though I hinted enough.Might have to improvise.Saving 1p,2p & 20ps.Already have a pot with 5ps in but that has been going for 6 months and will probably take 2 years to fill! :D Have a few £2 coins,but wouldn't it be better to bank those and get a few pennies interest?
    All the best for the New Year to you all.
