    Banked another £1 today. My husband seems to think the money will be better spent elsewhere but I explained that I'll only put money in once everything is paid for and we have enough food. If he carries on complaining I won't take him on our family weekend away when the jar is full!

    £1.40 into my pot today,all in lovely silvery clunks.

    Eldest daughter gave me a large handful of coppers for my 5p and under jar...and I found 2 x 1p roadkill :D

    I love this challenge!

  • pink- roadkill is dropped change that you find anywhere, as long as the owner is not in sight.
    I think.

    Hellooo there, can I join in? My son got a new money box for christmas so I'm going to commandeer his old one which has a lock on it. My aim is £300 by the end of the year. Thanks. Found a £1 whilst putting away the christmas lights so thats already gone in the tin.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    I am getting addicted to this already - so much so, I offered to pull out all the sofa cushions to 'hoover' and that earned me £1.20!! Loving it....

    Many thanks for this, never thought of it, found 90p and am now off to check coat pockets, handbag, bag on trolley etc

    two things...

    1 - is roadkill 'found' money?

    2 - watch out if you use those machines in supermarkets ... I keep finding bits in the reject trays...£3.21 in Sainsburys!:eek: - 3 x £1 coins!

    I'm in :) I have a Jelly Belly pot and it would be nice to fill him right to the top, then cash him in and keep the notes in there and then fill it up again :)

    So many pennies went in today :)
