  • I put in between 50p and £1 in random change yesterday and am putting £1 (my one and only remaining coin) into my pot today because today and tomorrow are NSDs spent at home decluttering PLUS I just got £149.50 refunded on an online purchase so can afford it and relax about money a bit.

    :T Just put £3 in the pot - put an extra £2 in as i took £2 out first thing this morning as i didnt have enough change for DD's school dinners. They're so expensive!She's only in Juniors and its £9.50 per week!! and the portions are tiny. She does enjoy them tho,and i like her having a warm cooked meal at lunchtimes,especially in the winter. I keep telling her to go up for seconds when they're on offer to get my moneys worth :rotfl:

    Thanks for the welcome Sue-UU

    While tidying the bedside table today, found a pile of loose change, so added that to the pot: £2.75; so grand total of £5.53. Not bad for only two days!
