  • Yesterday I was sorting out a box of stuff in the garage to sell on e-bay and there was a purse with coppers in it, put them straight in the pot. Didn't count how much, will be a surprise at the end of the year. :)

    Hi all

    saving for the first time in a sealed pot. Bought one yesterday from the pound shop, and sealed which it needs to be with me. Saving for my sons 21st B day and my partner who will be 65 at Christmas, what bad timing. So far have 8.91 gone in. Yay

    Eeek :eek: forgot to post my amount yesterday. Is it possible to smack your own wrists and mean it?:rotfl: Naughty boy :rotfl:...tut..tut...
    Anyway, the stunning amount for yesterday was (cue the music), dah dah dah da duh , 5 pence :laugh:. It's all money, onwards and upwards....:D
    We'll be going out later to hunt for coins, with our eyes peeled and hands ready :laugh:...It's going to be tougher than normal, as it's been snowing :snow_laug.
    :idea:Can you train dogs to sniff out coins I wonder?:idea:
