that's a bit of a trek for her to get to work isn't it?? saying that when we lived in manchester DH worked in Liverpool.

i do miss the trafford centre now we've moved. there's nothing to compete down here

Morning starnac
It takes her about the same time to get to Trafford as it does to get into the city centre (She does like to drive fast :rotfl:, hope stunty doesn't see this ) Plus she doesn't have to pay for parking :j

Hi all sealed pot people! I have to count out my pot - it's not very much this year - we only have a small amount left each week but I try to put some in - but also have to raid occasionally for change for going to the fair(!) etc... will post my last year's total soon - and try harder this year! I keep lurking but don't have much time to post - sorry! Have a great holiday season!

Well excited about starting this challenge, and my wife loves it even more because she has been threatening to bin all the loose change I leave around the house!! She now has strict instructions to 'pop it in the pot' because I am useless at putting in my wallet!!

Will 'start officially' on New Year's Day, but I already know I have some change in my bedside drawers.

Sorry, me again!! Just counted the change to start the pot. It adds up as follows:
£3.44 in a change bag that I knew I had (1p 2p 5p), £2.73 in by bedside drawer which I had no idea that I had! Along with 39p that I had lying around.

So my starting pot for 2010 currently has a grand total of £6.56

(Off to town now, I currently have £4 in change in my pocket. I've set a deal for myself that any change I come back with will also go in the pot!)

Morning everyone.

I found £5 on my very messy dresser - which must have been mine, but it was unexpected and I popped it into the pottie. I also 'found' 2 x golden coins on hubby's dresser which I fed to the piggy-wig. He is getting heavy, but i still think he will take a couple of years to fill:eek::eek::eek:

Sue - I'm off to Russia (not Poland;)) tomorrow. We fly at 9.30am so have an early start. I'm slightly worried that it will be too cold over there - -15 on the bbc. :eek::eek::eek: Oh well, will have to get on the voddie to keep me warm;)

Anyways we're off to the shops today as Mr LC needs a coat for our trip. Hopefully I'll get some change.

Have a fab New Year - stay safe and I'll see you all in 2010.:beer::beer::beer:

Well there's £3.35 in mine this morning - looks like I'm getting back on track

Since I'm not officially 'in' I think I'll go count up my loose change and report back when I am

Have only managed 1p in the pot the last few days. Am going shopping on Saturday, so hopefully will be getting some change then.
