  • Lots of pennies into one pot, and a few 10's and 20p's into my eeyore pot... Not bad:confused: Will have more change after Christmas, and will check how OH is doing tonight...probably badly:rolleyes: lol he hates change and waiting:rotfl: so i think i am teaching him a good life lesson, change is good, and good things come to those who wait! lol:rotfl:
    ..xx
    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A
  • Well I have finally stopped my Christmas 2008 collection - I am a bit obsessive and wanted to wait until all my 2008 £2 coins and 20ps and 10ps had been bagged.

    So I have no started my Christmas 2009 collection and I have a few quid in my sealed tin - any spare coppers went in and from now on all 20ps and £2 coins will go in there along with anything else I can spare, including payments from Pinecone - I got one in my Paypal this week so that's gone in too!

    I managed to get a reasonable figure for this Christmas and only started back in September so I want to try to save £2 per day for next year - fingers crossed I can do it!

    Just been reading everyone's friendly posts, thanks for the warm welcome. I have emptied my purse of all loose change below £1, so its freed up a bit of space in there and my money is off to a better place!!

    Hi Stunty (and Mrs S) we've got the Wii and Wii Fit board - hula hooping is soooooo funny. Actually we spent sometime at work today trying with a real hula hoop (work in a school so plenty of those around!!). Not one member of staff could do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway I digress - no change as yet but DS is not yet home - train broke down at bristol !!!!!!!!!!

    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
  • Evening all. I can't believe the amount of post there have been since my last confession...LOL

    Anyhows, a few golden coins in the pottie this week, as I was on the mystery shopping trail.
    I've got my niec staying for the weekend so I will pay for everything with cash and hope to get some oundage into my piggy-wiggy as well as my pottie.
    Raided OH's pantaloons this evening, but alas no giant golden coins.
    Anyhoo - gotta dash as niece is due soonish. Good luck this weekend, I probably won't get a chance to post until sunday. Don't miss me too much. xxx
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    another few more clunks for me today. Decided to ammalgamate my £2 jar and my sealed pot as its too tempting to use the £2 when there are things to get. So now just one tin for all change
