Morning everyone,
Another £2 into the pot yesterday. Off to work soon, and then have some last bits to get when I finish, so no doubt will have some more pennies to go in later.
Have a good day everyone and keep warm, its bitterly cold again.

A £2 coin and two 20ps added to the pots this morning. That will be it until after Christmas I think as I am determined not to enter a shop until after the big day, ideally not until next year!
Will be using cash for grocery shopping from 1/1/10 so will probably have some more bits to add each week as use the debit card at the moment.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all:xmassign:Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%

Just had a xms raffle in work and won 5 bottles of wine
Any one need a spare empty bottle in the new year - I'll have at least two by then!
Got £3.40 in my purse for the bottle later -can't update later due to having to go Avon delivering..... on freezing evening! I picked a bad evening but it must be done
Take care peeps
