  • Good morning
    Did not get a chance to post yesterday as I was so tired after work - between Thursday morning have put 86p into my 'under 50p pot' and another 3 £2 pound coins into my £2 pound pot. Good to know the amount is starting to grow already.
    Completely agree its addictive.

    Have a great weekend everyone

  • A few bits and bobs in each of the sealed pots for me, not sure if I am keeping my average up for my £500 target, but it is early days to be fretting about that - lol

    I have discovered that OH banks with HSBC so I will be able to sort my cash in a machine and then get him to transfer from his account to me. I made him a blingy gold piggy last year and he was talking about taking the contents (when piggy can eat no more) to a supermarket coinstar machine. I have put him right. Mind you I think his piggy's leggies might buckle under the weight before his belly gets full.

    Hmmm, I might have had too much coffee this morning
