  • Yay :) i got a cheque for £50 through the post yesterday :D Into the pot it went :) it's all going towards my holiday/place of my own :) I also put in the lose change that's in my purse :) which now takes me up to a grand total of £65.53:j
    Trying to make and save as much a poss, my mom's in quite a bit of debt so i'm trying to help out as much as possible.

    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A
  • Hi everyone, sorry I've not been on for ages, but have had no change at all, as not spent any cash! I went to the corner shop today for milk and a packet of biscuits, so have a few quid change for the pot! I think I've got about £3.50, will have to put some in my loose change challenge pot too, so will put £1.50 in the pot for this challenge.

    DH has left a £2 coin on the side for days now, I've got my beady eye on it...he's got til tmrw to move it and then I'm going to feed our camper van piggy bank with it! It's not stealing, it's "relocating" :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope you all are well xx

    Just emptied by poor purse of all the small change and put £3 in the pot.

    Purse now feels really light and closes :rotfl:

    After our fridge freezer broke down before xmas we bought a second hand fridge for £25,then we got a fridge freezer offered to us from a relative,Have sold the fridge tonight for £25 to a very grateful single mum who was chuffed to bits and struggling a bit, and had a crisis loan-She couldnt get it in her car quick enough :jshe went away well happy and I was prepared to drop to £20 but she was so happy to pay £25,sticking a fiver of that into the now resealed tin:)
    So nice to see it going to a good home.:)

    Sorry for insinuating (sp?) you there Sparky :D The people on the Wirral are pretty shoddy when it comes to roadkill 'n all....
    I solemnly promise to bag it and leave it in the tin til 1st December 2010 - I won't even go to New Brighton with it and use it in the 2p machines there...although temptation is a killer! :D

    No offence taken Sam
    I have trouble walking past road change wherever it may be, so far since April 1st last year I have picked up £43.53 I have no shame ;). If you wait until the summer we should be in New Brighton on a scooter rally, I'll follow you around in case you drop any precious 2p pieces before you get to the arcades :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
