Keep adding to the pot, but have mainly just updated my sig.
The total's creeping up slowly - was pleased to have £7.21 left over at the end of my August Grocery Challenge, and that of course went in. I think I probably got just as much joy out of that as I would have done I'd bought myself a treat! (What a sad woman!!)Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -
Aquired a whole 20p at work tonight, customer left his change on the bar, sadly late night visits to Tesco mean there is no change around the machine, but does mean I can spend 20p on a big pack of stirfry veg for dinner. I put the £1.20 difference between what I was planning to pay and what I did pay in to the bottle when I got home.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Congrats on the job Scuba - hope it's going well:A
I've seen the most gigantic piggy wig in china town. I so gotta get me one. He's about 3 ft long:eek: I'm waiting 'till I can get some cash though and do a bit of bartering.;)
I'm doing a sponsored run tomorrow - maybe I'll find some roadkill then. I did pick up 20p yesterday.:T
