    copied from virual selaed pot thread as i am getting a tad confused with all my pots lol

    gave in and counted my small change jar :rolleyes: £17.16 in that, figure in my £1 tin is a bit hit and miss as i keep track in my spending diary of my pound but i also throw in any that i come across in the house, found 2 down the side of the sofa so that went in but because htat is a proper sealed tin i have no idea what is in it exactly

    going to count my loose one every month and either change into pound coins or transer into savings as i think my wee piggy will shortly be full

    im sorry we confused you huni, you are doing well :T

    Lots in the pot today! :j Went shopping so got some change including a £2 and a £1 coin. And found 80p on the side which I assume OH left there for me...:whistle:
    I'm so happy to have got through a two day course on Manual Handling. It was tough, headache last night carried on today and I felt sick all day. Just wanted to come home to bed and the teacher put me on a chair, wrapped a duvet round me and said I could sit and watch everyone trying out the techniques! Sweet! Anyway, I'm home now. Have got a half day course tomorrow morning and then that's it for the week. Hurrah!

  • Total of £2.27 for my tins today, including the gold of a £2 coin :beer:
  • Well I'm off to the pub tonight to celebrate my win :j but also to drown my sorrows after a poor uni mark :(

    Still, it could also be the perfect opportunity to pick up some roadkill as I've had nothing to add to my pots today.
