    Popped £3 I found in an old purse, £2 that was loitering at the bottom of my swimming bag and £1.50 in reimbursed expenses from work into the pot :) Starting to feel a little less empty :)

  • Hello All, gutted my room yesterday and found a whopping 8p! I also found 7p today!

    That takes my total so far up to £75.48 :T Don't think i'll find much more though..

    It's my birthday today so hopefully I will get some money off my parents that I can put away :A:money:
    I'm hoping the weather picks up, although it's not supposed to - we're having a BBQ on saturday, but whatever the weather brings we will still have it! - patio heaters and extra gazebo sides at the ready. :eek: ;)

    Good Luck saving/finding. x
