    Hello!

    DH has left some change on the table and it has 2 £ coins in it! I'm relocating it to my pot! Yay, as it's been a bit of a dry spell on the change front. That's what happens if you never go out and spend money! LOL!

    Reb and Kas - are you just determined to drag me to the naughty step with you?:D Biccies and hot choc is far too tempting .... must resist!

    Am still on the straight and narrow *grins smugly* with 80c in piggy today.

    Rosepink, "relocating"?! :rotfl:I'll have to borrow that one. Must offer to relocate change for people.
    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!

    I ALWAYS put in £2 coins into the sealed pot. Today I got £10 change in £2 coins from a vending machine!!! All went into the sealed pot.

    I haven't got much space left in my sealed pot. Got another one on standby. Not sure what I;ll do when the first one does fill up - I might open it and put it into a savings account.

    Well done on feeding those hungry pots!

    Only £1.39 for my pot this week, haven't spent much so not many opportunities to get loose change. I'm only putting 20ps, 10ps, 5ps and coppers in my pot as I'm already saving £2 coins in the £2 challenge and need all my 50p and £1s for the boot sales:D. I'm becoming obsessed with small coins since joining the sealed pot challenge and may have to raid DHs pockets tonight.:rotfl:

    Hi everyone.

    It was pay day on Thursday so I've been good and put £10 in the 'ISA' tin and £20 in the 'student loan payback' tin.

    Hope everyone has a good bank holiday weekend.

    Hope your all having a super-fab bank holiday :beer:.

    11p in me tin today. Have been slacking of late, will need to re-double my efforts this month.

    Decided not to open my tin, will keep filling it until Xmas :D.

    Have a good one!
