    Hi all

    I hope you have all had lovely weekends.

    Another couple of quid in there for me. I went for lunch with a load of colleagues on Friday and insisted on changing the change we had all lobbed in for a tip into a fiver, I claimed that it was to make it easier for us to give the staff, secretly it was to gather cash for the pot!

    I did spend on food on Friday (i had challenged myself to spend nothing on food all week), but as I was sooooooooo good all week I am going to still chuck 20 into the nuggets pot.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm donating £1 into the pottery piggy today, as we were going to take a trip to the garden centre and then got caught up in our great de-clutter, so I reckon we saved a bit by staying home.:D

    £2 into the pot today. I had the kids collection sitting upstairs for Sunday School but they went downstairs without it. I shouted down but OH said he'd give them it so into the pot it went. :rotfl:

    Also 7p which was a 5p and 2 x 1p which were lying at the trolleys in Asda have gone into the shrapnel jar.

    Now to count a pot of coppers we have had for ages and not used, so I am going to add them to the total if that's ok?
