    i put anything that is 5p or below in a piggy bank and that goes in the savings, DD is 9 this year and she has over £1150 in her bank account and thats just saving coppers and birthday / xmas money, DS jas about £580 but he's on 4 lol so it all adds up don't knock it lol

    the sealed pot is change and stuff from avon, if the money in my purse doesn't round up to the nearest pound at the end of the night then the change that doesn't gets stuck in , for example i stuck 80p in tonight. does that make sense x

    meant to say the 5p's and coppers go into the kids savings, well one of them then i match the same amount, my gran doesn't agree with that she says i should just split it but the way i look at it it's money i'm investing in their future as they ain't getting there accounts til they are 21 lol

    plus my gran and brother give me all there coppers too so it defo adds up lol

    well i don't have the £30 in my purse anymore :rotfl:

    needed a new white bra......i've went down a size :j was a 36C but now i'm a 34C :eek: need to save up for the boob job when i hit 35 i think :rotfl:

    so got the bra for £9.20 as BHS was having a sale on :j went to homebargains and got toilet wipes, roll on and a small bottle of irn bru for £2.76 then popped into argos for a pet carrier which cost me £9.99, i need a safe plance for the guinea pigs to be when cleaning there cage esp with me going away for over a week and my wee bro is watching them lol :rotfl:

    popped into internacionale for a nosey and bought a bracelet for £2 reduced from £3.99 :j then into tesco for my diet coke but i ended up complaining as they have bumped the price up from 55p to 78p in one week but doing a buy 2 get one free crap......told customer services it was ridculous and that i will be going to asda from now on for my juice :rotfl: I know its still cheap but it's not the point lol

    then popped into the power place and did a twenty minute session so all wobbled out again lol, walked all the way home with my shopping and picked up DS from nuersery burning 443 calories into the bargain :T then went to post office to pay the avon invoice.

    Also arranged for my avon customer who wants her avon tonight, told her i didn't have any change but she has the right amount of money which will be going into the tin :T:j

    I think i have about £1.20 left in my purse but i only need my paper tomorrow lol
