    £1 for each pot today, if I manage to sell a book today to the person at work who wanted it I shall have another £4, which pot 3 shall claim. A friend of mine came over and said 'oooh terramundi's, are you saving for all your Christmas food?' Which I'm not, but if I get another Terramundi..... Is it too sad to have 4? I can't afford to go out or eat....I have terramundi's to feed!

    If your sad then so am I :o I have two terramundis 5 piggy banks and a cat piggy bank:o :D

    well in that case I feel as if I am falling behind! Need more..... I have decided that I will get a new terramundi and only save £2 coins in it, that way it will not be taking anything from the other pots, and I need them to know they are all loved equally. Now to convince a loving offspring that they 'need' to buy me a terramundi......

            You can never have too many terramundis ;) Even better if you can find someone to buy it for you:D

            Well I never! I turn my back for a minute (or a week) and the mischievous ones are not only off the naughty step but are having gold stars!!!:rotfl: What is the world coming to? And no, I don't think msfc and I will end up there although the chocolate biccie stash is tempting!:D

            Well I've had a nice little catch up on this thread and I think there's still plenty of divilment going on so I will have to be careful that I am not led astray:A

            Alas I have been so super-good with my no spend days that I have had hardly any change but I did manage to feed piggy €1.52.

            Elsie, what are you knitting? I'm trying to make a tea cosy. My sister thinks I'm such a granny (I'm only 38 :confused:) and says nobody uses tea cosies any more. But my knitting isn't good enough to wear so I figured a tea cosy is a safe bet. And I might set a trend!

            Welcome to all the new savers:wave:
            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!

            Ok, my last post for a few weeks as I am off to visit family, and off to Cornwall on a lovely holiday, and one of our golden rules on holiday is - no internet! (it's amazing, we all actually get to talk to people face-to-face and remember who we all are again!). So, a mighty 20p for pot 1, 30p for pot 2 and a huge and very successful 50p for pot 3. Because all the rest of the change found its way into my cream-teas-on-holiday pocket

                    Hi Nuala

                    I am knitting for my grandchildren, which I love to do.:heart: I know they are not terribly fashionable, but they last for years. I also know that you can buy them as cheap, but they don't last as long. I started knitting when my first child was born and he's 37 now, but that's what everyone did then. Very MSE.!!:money: I don't think I have ever knitted a Tea cosy, probably too busy with other things, but if it makes you happy.....go for it.!!

                    Glad to see everyone saving , and because its pay day, another £40 into my pot today, plus about £2 in change.:j
