    Kerfuffle- me thinks i am going to borrow your Twinnie idea if that ok?

    JordanShannon, borrow away, anything that motivates us both must be a good thing :T, and as you explained it so well to jacki981 I'm copying you now.

    Hi everybody,

    I hope you've all had a good weekend.

    So going into Peter Pot on Sunday is 12cents, courtesy of dippykitty being my Twinnie for today. heeeeey.:T

    Also, must tell everybody, cos I'm sooooooo excited about it.......................... hubby and I went fishing on Saturday and caught 2 Cut Throat Rainbow Trout, one weighed 1lb 13 oz and the second weighed 2lb 4 oz, we bbqd one for tea and the other is in the freezer, that's two free meals. And............at the same time some thoughless person (or thoughful depending on how you look at it) discarded 5 drinks tins so that's 25cents for Peter Pot once I've cashed them in. So all in all, Saturday, in the words of Wallace and Gromit, was A Grand Day Out.:T

    Toodles.

    :rotfl:I'm just so chuffed:rotfl:

    Afternoon all:beer:I found £5.05 in road kill yesterday which was exciting....:jAs I haven't found anything for ages./QUOTE]

    Hey Little Chicken, this is a great amount, was it all in small change or was there some big denominations?

    I would have been grinning like a Cheshire Cat all day if I'd found this much.

    Hi Kerfuffle. I found a £5 note - and a 5p:D:D:D:D:D I was out and about quite early - maybe I should adopt this as a technique to find more int the future.;)

    Hey Stunty - hope you've recovered from your celebrations.:beer:
    Is it really going to rain this week Sue? How depressing:eek:
    Am sooooooooo looking forward to the long weekend - and it's only Monday. Oh dear!:o

    Morning focus888,
    The sealed pot challenge finishes on December 1st, then starts up again on the 2nd, and don't forget I'm the official total counter upper, so when you get your pot open on the 1st, post the amount on here and I can add it to the grand total, I'm curious to know how much we have saved as a combined total :D
