    Hi all :hello:

    Last night I put £5.40 in - 40p change cos I got a lift and saved some bus money and this was the only change I had, and £5 which was left from my Christmas money but I decided to pot it instead :o

    Today so far I've done 31p! 30p cos again I've got a lift home (bus is £1.30- but I didn't have it to start with again, hence lift) so just chucked in what I had! And the sad little penny is what I found in my drawer at work :D

    sweet x

    Ew, just realised that takes me to £9.90- will hunt for another 10p to add before the end of the day! (annoying actually, cos I found a brand new shiny 10p yesterday and put it in my coat pocket but by time I got to work I had lost it :( )

    I hope everyone's well, and if not, that they very soon will be.

    For those wishing to become members, I'll sort out you out just as soon as I've gone through the posts.

    Keza - I see you're on-line. Yes, I'm very eagle-eyed, though still known for the occasional [STRIKE]coc[/STRIKE] mess up! You may not have done so well last year and not have had a total, but if you did then I'll gladly add you to the Grand Target and dear ol sparky will of course add your Total to his spreadsheet.

    Thanks everyone,

    Hiya! I did have a total but had to declare it early as it was for the wedding….i did pop in and do so honest :D

    I declared £230 total for last year.

    Another £10 into the pot, was about to spend it on a pair of boots and thought better of it. Hubby advised me to add it to my pot instead :) xx

    What a brilliant idea Az - i might try it here :rotfl:

    No pickings for the pot so far today. Been shopping this morning and wilkinsons seem to have good offers on cleaning stuff if you are into that sort of thing :D

    My car ins is due in a few weeks and I was thinking about using quidco as it seems to have been mentioned quite a bit here. Could anyone advise me on the best way to go about things - do I have to register with quidco and then search for ins quotes via them - I look forward to any advice you can give me.

    Snows falling thick and fast so any roadkill will now be undercover - shame :(

    Byeeee
