    Sorry to hear about your scooter buddy Sparky. Sounds like you gave him the best send off he could have had. xx

    Went to town for a pot last weekend, nothing but small hannah montana ones in poundland which was disappointing, so came home without one.
    Instead, I decided to save myself some money by cutting a hole in a small shoe box I found for my coins and notes. I put some bands around the ends so that I don't open it. Well, not before December 1st anway! :-D ..only 270 days to go.:rudolf::santa2:

    only 45p for me since then. Brings my sealed pot total to £66.37!:j

    Probably nothing for me for the next week as I don't get any money til then. But heres to hoping that I find something. :o
    Hope everyone is well, & hope to see sue back soon.

    You're not the only one who picks road change/roa kill up, stunty and I masters at it, the money I've picked since 1st April last year is paying for my MOT, tax and a tank of petrol for my scooter thats about £47. We don't know how to walk past road chage :D

    :rotfl:

    I saw a penny in the road today, but was too embarrassed to pick it up. I only collect roadkill if there's no-one about :o. 5 pence shopping change in the pot today :T.

    Hi All

    I've just put 35p in my pot and I noticed that it made a different sound than usual.. There was no tinkle just a THUD!!! I've decided its 'cos the tin is sooo full that the money doesn't have far to fall anymore!!! Its heavy too.

    Also found 1p today in the car park!

    Morning all,

    I've put a few pennies into the pottie over the last couple of days, including 1p that I found on the sofa :p The sun's shining in London which makes a nice change. We might pop to the shops later so hopefully that will mean more to feed my potties with. Have a lovely Sunday:A:A:A:A
    :grin: Save me from spending...
