    Still chucking in my change to my piggy-bank.
    If it's silver or gold (but not a £2 coin) then it goes in my SP.
    I reckon I've got a good £15 in there now.

    A little good news, my Wife decided that she wanted a lottery lucky dip and it came in with 3 numbers so £10 going in the pot when I cash it in tomorrow.





    I have also undertaken to take lunches to work from here on in, no more £3.29 meal deals from Boots for me please, although at the moment I seem to be eating a lot of jacket pots with cheese and beans but I'll get more adventurous as boredom kicks in!

    afternoon all, unfortunately im now on the downward slope with my illness so looks like my housebound days will be back very very shortly :( I dont know if this will actually be better for my pot as DS will have to start going to the co-op for me to get milk/bread and as im terrible for remembering what I need unless its infront of me he'll probably end up going everyday!

    49p deposited in the pot by a rather miserable Miss Lily today, pot is getting really heavy now, cmoooooon 1st Dec!!

    Sorry your not feeling too well hope you feel better soon. sending hugs. X

    Evening all :hello:

    Just 34p for me to add today, not had any tips from my second job this weekend cos there were no customers to serve so I've just been on cleaning duty all weekend!

    Positive thoughts for the week ahead everyone :(

    102 pages in 9 days -thats some amount of comments. Have found 5p in coffe table drawer, 5p on kitchen window, and 87p in loose change from purse. So just about scraped a £1 for my 1st week of savings. So at this rate I'll have about £50 by December!

    Hello everyone :D!

    Found absolutely no roadkill today - but maybe i'll make up for it another day. There's £2.50 for the pot today, it's the money I saved from not being able to get to the car boot to have a scavenge _pale_....

    Nevermind there's always next week for a rumage :rotfl:...

    Hope you've all had a good day HUNTING :laugh::D:D:laugh:.
