  • Iv just totted up what was in my pot as giving it to Mom tonight for the mater pot!! (she has my girlies after school on Tuesdays so really handy!)

    I forgot to give her the money last week so in two weeks we have managed to get £8.32 (I did shove a five pound note in there because of the £3.50 OH used or whatever. )

    Hope everyone else doing ok. I'm quite impressed so far as my total is £13 something since Jan 2nd which considering things are really tight in this house, I am really happy with it. (There is also £10 of £2 coins in there for my £2 coin challenge, so technically £23 something Ive saved in less than a month ) :D:D:D

    I have about 6 things on Ebay which are being watched too (out of about 80 iv listed!!) so hopefully if they get bought then that will be nearly £80-100 in my (Paypal) pocket. It may end up going back on bills or the paint for the front room, but hey its money outta nothing, but I'll make sure I put the change into my pot hehe.

    I think i need to stop putting the smaller coins in my pot, its getting full very quickly and i cant open it without a can opener :p

    Nothing smaller than a 50p from now i think, will have to find another larger container for the small coins

    Found 20p piece on the pavement outside my house today. I wonder if it was mine originally and I'd dropped it?:rolleyes:
    Anyway, it's safely deposited you-know-where, now.
