    Between the various pots in the last few days have put a 2 pound coin a pound coin and some change, but for this challenge I'm only counting the piggy, so that was £3.50.

    Every little helps. DS has emptied his pockets and there is £2.70 on the table. Have got my eye on it and if he doesn't pick it up soon, its mine!
