    :j Just found 5p in the rubber part of the washing machine
    it's great when you find money isn't it? :confused: or is that just me sad O no mates :rotfl:

    I found 3p in the depths of my handbag today and was stupidly excited so I can definitely relate to that! I suspect my family think I'm mad though!

    Good luck with your own challenge, I've just joined the Sept Grocery Challenge to try to limit my spend, so maybe you could join there too and keep everybody up to date with your progress.

    Well done Kerfuffle on that amount

    Thank you :D, (*Kerfuffle makes a courtsey*) (ps, just seen you on the Grocery Challenge, good luck.)

    TheBees & Lost2 seemed to have highlighted a new place I should be looking, or should that be lurking? Well done.

    And a big well done to everybody, there have been some major amounts being put into pots today.

    My Twinnies for today:-

    dippykitty .06p
    Sparky .08p
    TheBees .50p
    Lost2 .05p

    Total into Peter Pot $1.38.

    Have a good one.

    Toodles

    Morning everyone,
    Yet another mention on kerfuffle's twinnie list YAY, might be a bit of a cheat that one as it was road change, which goes into a seperate pot, that goes toward my debt, by paying a bill on the 1st April each year.

    Evryone enjoy your bank holiday, have fun, stay safe & keep saving

    Evening everyone,
    Unbelievable, I've just got another 2 X 2 pound coins in my change, that 9 in the last 3 days. Also found 2p road change, and I've put over 3 pound into my sealed pot.

    Enjoy Saturday evening everyone, X factor's on soon

    I'm so jealous of all this road kill you're all picking up! The last road kill I got was literally 1p and it was months ago! What kind of places are you finding it? Mine is usually when walking around the shops in town, never had any road kill on the street sadly.
