    Another £1.85 into the pot for me today :D:D It will be harder for me to add more clunks as Christmas gets closer, but I'm finding this thread really motivational so thank you all!

    Hi there,
    Could I be added to the list please?
    I've just opened my terramundi and there was about £145 in there. Now need to buy some superglue and get the top back on ready to fill up!! I have 2 pots of coppers as well but not countedthat so that can start off thisnew challenge!

    Thanks:beer:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
  • You can just guarantee it can't you?

    As soon as I decide to keep £1s and 20ps out of my pot, that's all I seem to be getting in my change.

    I found 5p earlier, so that went in. But it's not going to be a very big total unless someone starts throwing some 50ps my way :D
