    Thanks for my number Sue :T

    Have converted the coffee jar to a sealed pot with the aid of a drill, a screwdriver, a pair of scissors and some duct tape yay :j very MSE :money:

    Some odds and ends in the pot from the purse today, while trying to sort out the refund for the xmas dinner I had organised for the neighbours, before the floods put paid to it! I'm trying to get a better grip on my money but I've found it really difficult with the refund cheque going into my account. I keep losing track of my real balance-daft or what :o. I'll be glad when it's all sorted.

    Onwards and upwards

    Sod it, going to put my tenner I won from the lottery into my sealed pot (well it's a VW campervan money box!) as well as the spare change I've just found in the bottom of my bag. So that's £13.29 added to the pot now!
