    Morning all! A colleague gave me a lift home from work this morning so the £4.40 I've saved in bus fare is going in the pot! Hope you all have a good Monday, I'm off to bed now!

    Good Morning Everyone.

    I would like to set my target at £500 for Xmas 2010 please. I have decided to save any silver in a sealed pot, coppers in my giant BUD bottle (as always) and any spare £1 and £2 coins (if there are any!) in a piggy bank! Not got a new tin or the piggy bank yet but I have 4.20 in my old winnie the pooh tin already!
    I had a moment of genius last night when it came to me that a pound a day from 1st December 2009 to 31st November 2010 is £365! DUH!! So £500 should be easily doable!!!

    My number is 689

    Thanks

    Stuck another £1.50 or so in the 20p pot and shrapnel piggy over the weekend. Nothing added to the £2 coin pot. I had loads when I started the challenge but haven't seen one for days now.:confused:

    Only using the cash in my purse this week so will hopefully accumulate a bit more change.

    Another 57p for me today, I'm saving anything under a pound coin. Lots of new shiny coins going in my pot today! :)

    Have a good day everyone, even though the weather is awful here.
