    Had a tidy up in my room today and found some shrapnel between my bed and the wall, and some bits from my mystery shop this afternoon.

    £3.02p road kill in my pot today well not exactly road kill. we live in a semi detatched house that is set down off the road. so the roof is the only thing visable from the road (sounds awful but the views out the back are fab) anyway we have steps going down to the house that are shared with next door. recently we've had new neighbours with 3 teenagers move in. the teenagers come in late at night and when i get home in the morning there's always small change on the steps. it's like they have an allergy to coppers or something. not that my pot minds but i do feel a bit guilty when i pick it up in case they see me through the window!!!

  • I was just sorting some things out in my room and have made a start on the 'pot'!

    Pounds is just 96p but I counted 12.69 euros in various bits of change I have found at work! I have decided to save the euros pot for my holiday in March... the sealed pot, I'll save for something else.

    A warm welcome to the thread psychopathbabble! Yes, you're IN.....to stay!:D It's great to meet you and is never too late to join here. Enjoy yourself here and have great fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. It's always helpful to put it on your signature. If you haven't already done so then scan through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries, but any others - then just shout.

    Hi Kerfuffle :wave: Sorry, forgot to add that it most certainly did go in the pot, along with another tenner!!!;)

    Hey LC, that's not a bad idea about having a guess at the total amount. I don't know about a prize, but it would certainly be interesting. Have a lovely weekend!

    Good luck with your wish coming true TheBees!:j

    Lemon Tree, you're not alone I promise you. It was the same with some of us last year. You do have a choice though so bear that in mind.

    sparky...have you got off that scooter yet??? :D Enjoy it and love being 17 all over again, DW too!!! Just don't get splashing into the Mersey!!!! :eek:

    Keep at it starnac! It'll only get kicked aside or...worse still someone else might see it! :eek: :p

    Have a great Wednesday all, and be happy while you're all saving!

    Sue. New friends wishing to join us, please just ask below, I'll be with you ASAP.
