Evening all,

I have decided to stop adding up my pot and instead leave it as a surprise. Instead I will just ensure I put some in each day

xx

That's what I do too, (I chuck all 1p's 2p's & 5p's in the tin & Mr Melvis adds the odd 20p ) it worked well last year & I passed my £50 target hence the raised target of £75 this year :T Mr Melvis & I like to guess how much is there before we count it up too

4p change from post office + 8p change from tesco for me today ... ooh and i found a 2p when I was hoovering the bedroom, thanks to Mr Melvis' leaking pockets :rotfl::rotfl:

Mr Melvis has just given me 23p too including one of his magic 20p's Do you need £20 of 20ps for a money bag? xxx

Great minds think alike then Melvis (and Mr Melvis ) adds to the surprise doesn't it. Good idea about guessing aswell, might pinch your idea there!

£10 of 20p's in a money bag btw

Hi

Another load of change in my pot today, i'm not keeping tabs so its a suprise!!! Also my daily quid in my other pot.....

I also got paid from Hatton Garden today, well impressed with the service, only posted my gold yesterday and received over a grand this afternoon - went into the 'big' savings pot :j

£1.45 plonked into tin by Miss Lily making a very satisfying clunking noise miss lily has also informed me the pot is'very very heavy'.

Got to go get a few more bits tomorrow for her birthday on sunday so hopefully have a few more coins to go in tomorrow night

start chalking up the days!

Believe me I am - I'm circling the calendar in the kitchen with a big red marker. Does a lot for the mood! Although I have to say my friends are amazing when he's away. Tonight is the first night one of them hasn't insisted I come round for dinner after work, and I'm at somebody elses tomorrow night! They're a good bunch. Plus him being away has it's benefits, girly night for us on saturday! :j

a teenager came from side of bus stop and informed me i was the 79th person to try n pick it up - he had superglued it there to see how many people tried to get it!!!

That made me laugh out loud, probably I sign that I still have a teenager's sense of humour at 26! Cheeky beggar!

ANYWAY, on topic, £2 in jar from me tonight and £1.50 in yesterday. I'm sooooo tempted to "practice" getting the money out the terramundi and count it. It's amazing what classes as entertainment when you're bored in the evening! :rotfl:
