    Hello, Im new!

    Can I join this? I always chuck loose change in a jar, then end up raiding it to buy chocolate or other rubbish!

    i have transferred all my change to an ice cream tub, taped it up and cut a slot in the bottom. I will set myself a target of £100 by Christmas.

    It's going to be a challange as so far I only have about £7.50...but worth a go!
    Happy New Year :beer:

    Hi guys, sorry haven't caught up with the thread so hope everyone's ok.

    I've had to raid my pots today. A cheque hasn't cleared in time and the rent went out today. We are £71 short, and I had £40 in each pot, so that worked out perfectly! The woman in th bank wasn't very happy with me, but ho hum! I will be able to replace th amount when th cheque clears, and probably put a bit more in so that's good!

    Love to all

    I'M STILL HERE TOO!:j So sorry I've been so busy over the past few weeks.
    SO THANKS TO ALL THOSE I HAVE MISSED THANKING:T

    Quite a few pennies and some pounds gone in the pot over the past weeks, pottery piggy is getting fatter and heavier. I don't even want to count it I just want the surprise. We have now taken to hiding it away when we leave the house (Is that a bit obsessive:confused: )
    Hoping everyone is keeping well and still doing well. Keep going!!!

    I am ashamed, had the munchies yesterday and instead of emptying my purse of change I went to the shop and bought crisps and chocolate and scoffed the lot. In penance I took the hound out for a walk first thing this morning, and am about to walk to the Post Office - the long way around in hope of snaffling some road kill.

    Hiya scubaangel,
    We'll forgive you :p , everyone gets the munchies, I usually get them when I'm working lates, and crisps are my nemesis, but my cholesterol is too high, so I'm reduced to chomping on carrots, I feel like a bl**dy rabbit :rotfl: . No road change for the last couple of days either :mad:

    Back from the PO and found no road kill at all, most disappointing, and the change which was left in my purse just got spent on the packet I sent. But I have put 28p in to the pot this afternoon and my ebluey to the male has been printed, and hopefully will be delivered when hes next in camp to pick it up. :j
    And I dont want forgiveness for the munchie eating, I need telling off over that - Id said when the male was away Id be eating healthily to try and lose a bit of the weight I put on since I sprained my ankle last year. :rolleyes:
