    Naughty me, I broke into my savings box last night for Emma's karate fee as I'd forgotten to get it from the Bank. Was really impressed that I had managed to save £6.00 (requisite fee) since beginning of Feb from spare change! x


    :T:T Well done you! it really does add up! It's even more exciting when you have no idea how much you have and get to count it out!

  • I can't remember if I put anything in yesterday or not....So I've now put in various amounts of change that I had in my purse and just wanted to get rid of...

    So my Grand Total for this month so far is....£9.95...which is great...Especially since I don't have any money in my Savings, so at the end of the month I can put whatever money I have into my Savings Account...which is brilliant.
  • Well done guys :beer:

    £1 coin for me today (or yesterday as it's past midnight). Nice to put in something of substance instead of the usual 5p, 10p, 20p donations i've been making recently :D.

    Haven't been contributing for a couple of days as didn't want to withdraw cash and risk frittering so purse has been firmly empty (oooooh see the moths!) have now had to (begrudgingly) take out a tenner so as a goodwill gesture - am donating a shiny £1 to the pot

  • Well, yesterday I contributed 50p to the cause and thanks to hubby paying me back I gained a £2 coin to go into my pot. But, despite a day out today I have an empty purse. Only cash machine was broken so had to use cards which I hate to do. Especially as I now have no coins to put in :mad:
