    £1.15 in the pot today, found while changing over bags ready for work tomorrow. I have a habit of just chucking change in the bottom of my bag and forgetting about it, so in the pot it all goes!

    OMG - I had no idea about the 20p's so I have just spent the last half hour pulling mine out of my sealed tin with knife and pair of tweezers! :rotfl:

    I knew I'd seen a couple of shiny ones but unfortunately both of mine had 2008 stamped on them!:mad:
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!

    Think I'm going to have to have a go at that and see if I have any!

    Evening everyone.icon7.gif

    I have 41p to put in pottery piggy today, donated by DH, who just handed it over saying 'Would you like this for your pot?'

    I think I must be getting DH very well trained or maybe he was just fed up of looking at my extremely miserable faceicon9.gif because there's been no piggy pennies for a while.
