            Aw Reb, you're a bad influence! :D

            I've nothing to put in my pot today. Put the last of my change which was all 1 and 2 euros into a new pot which I'll bank once a month.

            On the plus side, the reason I've no more change is cos I haven't spent any money!
            Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
            Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

            You assume, that I don't need a rod in my back to help my arthritis,
            you also assume I am female,
            you also assume that I am not locked frequently in our village stocks.
            Sometimes when we assume it makes an !!! of u and me! But only sometimes!! :p
            I don't get to come on here too often.
            Too buzy money saving!
            :D

            They love it, it also gives them someone to moan at and about.

            Forgot to say. I put a tenner in change in my pot.

            My dog is going along okay, another week and she has her stitches out. She is now back to charging the length of our very short garden after cats. Thanx for all your thoughts for her.

            Thanks Sue_UU. I see what you mean by addictive, the money i have put in the tin would only go on chocolate and even my 15 year old DD put a couple pounds in it last week :T.
            This way of saving you don't really see that the money has gone as all it is is spare pocket change.
