    Morning everyone,
    Went to Mr M's last night, and there was a trolly with a nice shiny £1 coin still in it, that was snaffled very quickly by me :D , also 6p in road change. Today is the big count of my road change tin, so I will update you all later with the amount I have picked up over the last 12 months. Then tomorrow I'm off to pay a bill with my findings ;) .

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving :D

    Morning everyone,

    Its a good job I don't want to pay a bill with my road kill, its the grand total of 6p.!!!:o and that has taken me 3 months.

    Nothing in my pot yesterday, I had a totally No Spend day. :A

    I'll be logging on later Sparky to see your update on final total.

    Have a good day everyone. :j

    LC2 We're not doing very well on the roadkill are we. !! Probably Sparky and others are getting there before us. !:mad:

    Nothing else in pot again today, still another No Spend Day........I am in a no win situation really, I love it when I manage not to spend anything,:A but then get fed up when I've got nothing to put into my pot.:p

    Think I might raid OH drawers whilst he is out, he usually has some change lurking around, just waiting to be claimed...:think:......not a word everyone .:shhh:

    Afternoon everyone,
    Well I've just counted the road change jar, over 12 months I've managed to pick up £53.07 and 16 euro cents. So tomorrow I will be paying that off one of my credit card debts, Yay. Starting tomorrow I will start all over again for another 12 months

    Hi peeps.

    Would love to join up if it's not too late. I joined the '£2 savers club' last night and already have a shiny £2 coin in my sealed tin. :rotfl:

    Think i'll give the 'sealed pot challenge' a go. Not saving for anything in particular, but lets see how long i can save before i dip my sticky fingers in the pot.

    Have fun! :beer:

    Well done Sparky on the roadkill - I have yet to find any at all!! Must be very careful people round here!

    I did find a can of impulse in a Sainsburys trolley in the car park - and it was a flavour that I like - does that count??!! :rotfl:
