I've been away from home for the last two days with work so haven't read what seems like 1,000,000 posts!
I have a wee amount of change into my pots today. Looking forward to counting them already! I'm doing the frugal challenge too at the moment though so if that works the way it's meant to I won't have much change for the pot :rotfl:0 -

I'm another TopCashBack fan, which reminds me that i must draw down the money sat in there..... Need a new account for all these 'pots'.... Wonder if a passbook account would be better than online, as I would have to go and get the money rather than transfer it.....?
Not sure who it was that suggested drawing cash out to buy groceries??? Thats a fab idea, as i'm always using my card and wondering why i've never no money left in the bank, all those little bits add up..... So, decided that OH and I are gonna draw £100 (to share) out on a Friday and out of this we have to buy petrol, food and anything else we need through the week.... On a Thursday, anything left goes in the sealed pot..... :T
NSD for me today, as my boss bought my lunch, so no pennies for the pot.....Challenges - repay all credit cards by end of 2015Starting the savings for retirement :rotfl:
