  • Thanks for adding me in - my challenge started today by raiding the house for as much loose change as I could find - funny thing is the kids thought this was great and found more than me!

    Also got my 2 SIL doing this - hopefully they will log on tonight and get a number - we are aiming for money for sales 2010 and of course to beat each other which is great fun.

    Ratty67 - I too love the 'Road kill' idea and will find a spare pot to catch all this lovely lolly in - I am so looking forward to this, its great x:j x

    Hi Can I please join to - I dont have a target, Thanks
  • :beer: Happy New Year everyone!!:beer:
    Last night i found 50p lying round in OH bedroom and asked if i could have it, he agreed bless him:D so that went in the pot.
    Today played cards (with pennies, i used some from my tin:eek: ) I know, i know, but its okay, as i lent about 40p to OH and had 40p for me, OH gave me 40p in silver, then he went and won twice, and i won twice, so at the end of the game, i had about 50p more than i started off with :j
    So i earnt a bit of money which went back into the pot, which is now tucked safely away :rolleyes:

    And i didn't spend any money yesterday, during the celebrations :j so i'm very pleased with myself.
    Well done everyone

Best to remember for the future though! [Edit} Oi, have just seen the part about you dare thinking of me gloating!! Shameful of you LC!!!:o

    you cant change yesterday
    but you can make tomorrow better
  • I just found loads of change (about £9 worth) in a jar in the conservatory. Must be one I started last year and lost! About to add it to my pot anyway.
    I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

    £1 in the pot today. Going into town later, so will be scouring the streets for coppers! Have to say I don't have much luck with this but what I do find ends up in the charity bottle as its usually either 1p, 2p or a 5p!

    My DS (2.5yrs) puts my coins in for me after breakfast everyday. He calls them "Mumm'ys Pennies!".
