    Morning all. £2 in pot yesterday, nothing so far today though. Going to get some veggies later so may have something to feed pot. Decided to save for next years hol in the pot now instead of Christmas as originally planned, this will give me more incentive lol.

    Freezing here, but no snow.

    I failed on my 100 day challenge not to impulse buy yesterday, so it cost me £1 into my sealed pot. :confused:

    Also took the grocery challenge to the next pound with the change in my pocket, the food bill won't miss it. :j but my seled pot will. :T
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!

    Where are you in Glos, Puzzled? I work in FOD - very snowy there today! No chance of finding any roadkill!

    Nothing added to terramundi yet today, but sorted out my old coppers tin last night and did a house-kill search - ended up with £3 in coppers, £1.20 in 5p pieces and 60p in 20p pieces. This is really getting very addictive!

    hey All,

    Chelsea Well done on the saving!! I lived in the Heart Of the Forest all my life but now live in Chelt, where abouts are you? :confused:

    Sparky, i would much rather you had it than anyone else but leave some scraps for us novice pavement scourers :)

    Mumzy glad you had a good NYE, sounds like you got the new year off to a good start!! :D

    Sue i just wanted to say thank you for being such a star and keeping us all updated :T :T :T :T

    Ive gone a bit smiley mad (and am supposed to be working hard) so will try to stay of MSE until lunch time :rotfl:

    Morning PB,
    I'm afraid that if it's on the floor, the first one to pick it up is the winner. I have no shame about picking up any coins of any currency ( I also have some euro and USA coins snaffled from the ground lol).

    Have a great day hun, but wrap up well it freeeeezing out there!
