    Hello Everyone! I would love to join in this challenge also. I have only been looking at this today and am at work right now so I don't have a sealed pot yet but I have £1 ready to go into it as soon as I get home and create one!! I don't want to set a target, I'll just be grateful for whatever is in it at the end!

    Hi all,
    Put a few pennies in the pot today and also managed to nick a couple of coins from OH too :eek: (just dont tell him) :o

    OH is onboard but he likes to have some change on him for teas at work - not really very helpful is it so I have to pinch it when I can - hope stunty and sparky dont read this or I might also get told off for stealin :rotfl:

    He'll thank me at xmas when he can go buy things for me with all the coppers!!!

    zavarony,
    You've been taught too well by sue and the rest of the "pocket raiders" :rolleyes: It starts with pennies and then ends up £1 & £2 coins, where will it all end, you ladies have no shame :rotfl:

    Hello all, well a few silver coins in both pots last night, but today may be less as its my day to pay for the coffee at work. I will certainly take note of the advice about the sainsburys machine - I knew it took a bit but 8% seems a bit too rich for my blood! We have now named our own pot the 'Amazon' pot as my partner says she'd like to save up and go to the Amazon. Well, if we're going to dream it might as well be a good dream, eh?
      To those who are given much, much is expected

          1. Another few coins in the pot today - I had a bill through from IR so had to pay that off and the change went straight in !

            OH found 40p in 'Roadkill' yesterday was dead pleased with himself - must try harder maybe re-read the instructions - I must be doing something wrong!:mad:
