    Went to the local shop for a few bits today, got cash out so I could pay for it and put the change in my pot! So I've got £9 to put in.

    Will count up soon, dying to know how much is in there.

    How is everybody? Hope you are all ok

    Hi Guesty, so nice to see you! Hope you are ok, we were worried. Hope you don't mind me taking over the reins. Please say if you would prefer to take over again, in the meantime I will add you to the first post and your amazing total of £100, that's wonderful!

    Oooh, Lesley, I'm excited! I bet you've got loads in there.

    I had a count up yesterday and I've got £20 in each of my swag bags, so will see if I have enough to bank any of it.

    Guesty, I'm not really the boss, just a cheerleader!

    Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and saving lots.

    I had a bad week (with depression) so haven't been on MSE much. I'm feeling a bit brighter now and it's nice to pop on here and catch up.

    Rosepink - so sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time. Don't feel guilty at all, after all you would do the same for your OH if it was the other way around. And I'd be surprised if you weren't kept busy at home anyway - you'll earn your keep! If nothing else you're kept busy as the home finance manager - there's a lot of change relocating to be done! Seriously though, it must be hard and I'm rooting for you. But health and family are much more important than cars and holidays and fancy things. How is your health now? Hopefully you will feel better when you're not working.

    Lesley - you are just flying with this! I'm getting excited about cashing in, it will be some day next week I think when I count up and take my little bag to the bank. I've added €5 to the pot since I last posted so it's coming along nicely.

    It's a lovely sunny day here so I must get out later and make the most of it.
    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!

    Hi everyone, been absent for afew days as havent had any money to spend to get change :( just got paid and of course have spent some money already :o so now finally have some change to put into my jar :j £1.15 to add to my pot which takes me to £14.60 :cool: cant wait until it reaches £20 but still wont cash it in until ive filled up the pot to the brim and its a empty 2lt coke bottle :rotfl:long long way to go!!

    anyway rosepink hope you are feeling ok and more comfortable in your decision. Also you are doing great with your change savings :) well done you.

    Lesley you sound like you are doing really good right now. Hope you arent still as down as before? i cant imagine how you must be feeling but stay strong. :)

    Nualabuala - sorry to hear you are feeling depressed recently. hope things pick up for you soon. its a lovely day here too but was stuck in work and it was boiling, i was sweating so much :o would rather have been sat on a beach :D

    hope everyone else is doing good :) cant wait for this weekend :beer:
