    Nothing put in pot for a couple of days as I have not spent anything. However broke into a £5 to buy bread (£1.20) so change will go into pot. Road kill - 2p (two separate 1ps found within a few steps of each other)

    Hi elizabunny,
    It's never too late to join the madness, that is sealed pot challenge. you'll find us a friendly if not sometimes crazy gang, and if you're a good girl sue-UU (she's in charge) will be along later this evening to allocate you a number, and make you all "official". Once again welcome
    :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:

    P.S. some of the other ladies on here are a bit feisty, and also they are trained in the art of "dipping" their OH's pockets for change to feed their pots lol. You've been warned, don't let them corrupt you :D

    Really - I can't believe the people on this thread would behave in such a way. Why, that's almost stealing.:p

    I'm feeling a bit grumpy today, as no pennies in the pottie and I haven't been out anywhere.:o I promised myself I'd get to the gym, but it's too cold, so I've just been eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating:eek::eek::eek: 'Tis not good:money: I am putting on way more pounds than my pottie:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    My hubby is out for the night, he's a drummer and it's rehearsal night with one of his bands. He borrowed £5 for the studio, he will give me it back, but I think I will go and find some interest in his drawers. Should be a few coppers there. Trouble is he uses little cash and so there is very little change.
    Not a lot is better than none me thinketh! :j
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!
    :D
