  • The anticipation is brilliant of what is going to be in the pot.
    Usually I only saved coppers in pots but knowing the money is going towards Christmas everything is going in!
    £2 coin in this morning and may have more change later.
    Live on a little over £4k challenge

  • Morning all, my son is now in on the saving game he's only 7 and we've just done our first layer of paste and paper for our money boxes, they are going to take ages to dry in this cold weather:rolleyes:

    Already today found a load of coppers on his bedroom floor so they can go in his box when its done.

    Have a good day everyone:)

    Nothing added yet again:o , it's very slow at the moment but never mind what ever is saved will be a bonus in the end;)
  • I've counted up all the coppers and five p's in my piggy bank - have £1 in pennies, £1 in two p's and £1 in five p's! yippee! I will get the bank to change it into £1 coins and put them in my pot, because £1 coins will take up less room than all the change. I'm so excited about saving money!

    £2.80 for the pot today...

    ...and a whopping 57p roadkill - one 50p plus coppers :D

    Eldest son gave me back the tenner he owed me this morning. I've put it under the pot for now. If I don't need it by the end of the month, into the pot it will go ;)

    Afternoon everyone,
    £1.18p in road change for me today, while walking the dog. :j

    Sue, you're doing angreat job keeping everyone in line lol ;)

    Jess, you're doing well with the diet day 5 now keep it up. Stunty and I will watch your back. :grin: No-one picks on members of "our gang"

    lillmismup, DW and I are sooooooo jealous that your going to NYC, we went in November to renew our wedding vows, and never wanted to come home, I'd move there tomorrow if I had the chance :D

    stunty, my Mrs S said to run away and get married, then have a party when you get home, it saves an awful lot of money and you get the wedding your way _party_ _party_ _party_

    Some more change in the sealed pot today also, hope everyone has a great weekend, keep safe and keep saving
