haha this is SO addictive!
Im going out for a walk every day just in hope of finding roadkill, and almost made myself late to work because I was walking that little bit slower to look for it.
However, found a few pence in roadkill and have put about £6 in change from not getting buses and buying lunch.
Happy saving everyone xSealed Pot Challenge #584

Afternoon everyone,
Thought I'd share this with you, hope it brightens your day, or at least brings a smile to your faces
Dear Friends,
I want to thank you one and all for the e-mails you have forwarded to me over the past year.
I must send a big thank you to whoever sent me the one about rat sh*t in the glue on envelopes, because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
Also, I now have to wipe the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it all to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. But that will change once I receive the £15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft are sending me for participating in their special email programmes.
Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants to split seven million pounds with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me. I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward emails to seven friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer buy petrol without taking a friend along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up I no longer go to shopping centres because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number and then I'll get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan , and even Falkirk I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my !!!!. I can't even pick up the £5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
If you don't send this email to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhoea will sh*t on your head at 5:00pm this afternoon and fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.
By the way....a South American scientist after a lengthy study has discovered that people with low IQ who don't have enough sex, always read their emails while holding the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late!!! HAVE A NICE DAY

Hey guys
I finally sorted out my sealed pot, and there have been lots of clinks into it recently. Found a bag that had 4 more bags inside it, all of which had "night out shrapnal" in them.
I even found the occasional £2 coin and in one bag I found £10!! So anything that was in coin form I have put in the jar and kept the notes.
Target being £200 though I'm hoping that with a bit of effort I can double that. xx:heart2: Its 12 o'clock and I need your attention :heart2:Debt at Aug 2008 : Bank of Scotland CC : £1605 :mad:Overdraft : GONE!:j:staradmin Debt free aim: Sometime in 2009:staradmin0 -

How annoying! Hope OH's little brother has been suitably punished for this - but I have to say murder is a little severe
I did quite well today - got 3 £2 coins in my change and another 80p in 20ps (I save every £2 and 20p coin I get) plus a small amount of shrapnel.0 -
Just 3p for me today but then again, I didn't actually leave the house.ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0

Hi everyone!:D

Not bad... didn't spend anything over the weekend.
Went swimming again today another 30 lengths done! yay! :j
Lost 2lb so far, aiming to lose a stone in a month, so pretty good going!
Hope everyone is ok and having a good start to the week!

Been out MSing but thanks to the snow and rain didnt want to walk slowly enough to find road kill while I was out on my travels, but finally emptied my purse and put a small handful of shrapnel in to my bottle, and didnt have to pay for any of my car parking while I was out so put a few extra silver ones in as I didnt generate any change as I usually would.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
