I've used the jar which had golden syrup in, which I used for my christmas gingerbread....I have washed it!!

Bet that took some cleaning - that stuff is like glue! I remember trying to wash out a treacle jar once as a kid... gave up in the end! Pretty can to collect in though!

Have popped a five pound note in my tin tonight, I figured I wont miss small amounts like that - It was gonna be a tenner but I'd only have to withdraw it from the bank tomorrow as I'm off to a pantomine which is £7 so the change from the tenner will go in the pot tomorrow aswell
I'm gonna be shaking visitors upside down as they come through the door here, anything that falls out goes in the tin

I've just realised what people mean by roadkill! I've always picked 'roadkill' up, I've always been known to be able to find it quite easily! found a £20 note once & my other half found £10 on the floor the other week! I'll have to keep my head down!

Put another few pence in today whilst attempting to tidy kitchen in preparation for my 93 year old uncle to visit, it makes a nice noise when I shake the tin now!

Oh, I just loved what my mind's eye visualised there, VintageBrat.!! :rotfl:

It may make a nice noise, janeawej, but I hope you're not intending to shake it when your 93 year old uncle visits, are you?! :eek: Oh strewth, I hope I haven't put an awful idea into your head! :doh:


That's it, kochi1, keep it going in there.

Have a lovely day everyone, keep on saving and for those unsure roadkill = money found on pavements etc.

Please count me in for this challenge. This WILL be the year I sort myself out. I have too much to live for to spend my life in fear of checking my bank a/c and waiting for bailiff letters.

I have a little tupperware tub with bits of change in under my bed. That will start me off nicely until I find a 'sexier' pot lol. Will count it in a bit and post it in my sig and then I will feel like I'm really on my way. Target? ooh I'm not sure say £235 which if added to the £365 from the 365 a day challenge will give a nice £600 for Christmas next year. And if I make the £11000 challenge Christmas just could be in the Bahamas :j ok ok only joking. Christmas will be spent in the costa del north east but with a few more debts paid.

Good luck everyone and much love
