  • I told OH about my three pots today (one for 5p,2p,1p coins; one for 10p coins and; for £2 coins) and he thinks I have gone barmy and completely OTT :rotfl: his response was 'wouldn't you be better off leaving it in the bank' oh the silly boy

    And HE has me making him a blingy papier mache piggy for him!!

    :jHad another NSD which I know is good but it means nothing to feed the pot with.
    I will have to resort to cleaning handbags or even the car.

    Well done everyone else though.

    Just out of curosity where do you all get the money from to fund your challenge money pot? Wages? Hunting the house?

    xx

    I clear my purse out of shrapnel when it gets heavy and I also put the pound coin from the trolley into the pot everytime I go shopping.

    Sue I also do Yougov and find them to be a bit temperamental in sending out surveys, Ive got £7.50 with them so the £50 target seems miles off. Glad to hear someone has actually had a payment from them!! YouGov surveys make me laugh tho as they ask you about shoes or haemerrhoid cream or something random like that and then always end with what do you think of todays government!!:rotfl:

  • Happy Birthday Stunty :)

    I have put in about £5 this weekend so big, big yay!!!

    Also went shopping at the market this morning to get my last 3 crimbo prezzies and i saw the metal tins at just £1 each so bought three, only because our local £1 shop hasnt had any for a while and im hoping that those 3 will last me all year.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend :)
