    My "road change" pot is up to nearly £43 in just under 10 months. :D

    £43?? :T I was half joking before, but will def keep a look out for 'lost' coins...looks like the art of road change spotting is def one to be acquired!!

    Filled my car with 20 litres today, only came to £16.60 :D Paid with cash, so change from £20 is going in the pot (£3.40 woohoo)
    We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic. ;)

    Hi Rosepink1984 & sillyme
    Hi, i would like to join in the challenge please! I'm going to try to save £1 a day, and today I will count up all the change I have in my piggybank - I always put 1p's 2p's and 5p's in there and then put them in the bank when I get enough, but from now on I will do this challenge as well. I only have an old purse to save in, which will be tempting, so I WILL find a pot!
    Can I join or is it too late?

  • Afternoon everyone and welcome to all the new sealedpoters. found 1p on DS bedroom floor, so in the pot it went, I class it as road kill or should I say bedroom floor kill:rotfl:.

    Sparky- I'm of to MrT's in a bit and am going to put your advice on looking for road kill in to practice, just to make sure I don't walk in to anything.

    Happy hunting shelley, hope you find loads of road change hun, one of the best places for me is Mr M's shopping trollies where people can't be bothered to take it back for the £1 coin, their loss my gain :D

    Ive got the dreaded lergy :( sore throat , asthma on the ritz , cough , bad eyes the full works.

    The thing im more worried about is my asthma :eek: my aim this year was for a HOSPITAL FREE year lol! lets hope it stays that way~!

    No money in the pot yet , i might look at my purse see what random change i have and wack it in :)

    Hope everyones ok , good luck with the roadkill everyone , look by shop counters as well as i have found 50p there before where people drop change whilst paying then cant be bothered to pick it up... unless you see some one drop it who doesnt realize then u be nice and pick it up for them :)
