  • Would love to join this one, too - just signed up for the virtual sealed pot, but I do love Melvis' idea of concentrating on particular coins. Think I'll put all my 20p pieces into my sealed pot...........

    Hi everyone :hello:

    After I'd posted last night I put a jacket on that I've not worn since last summer and found 32p in the pocket :) Also found another bit of change (think it was 10p but can't remember now!) so that went in as well. I was really pleased, was like winning the lottery lol. :o

    I've put £3.51 in today, was feeling a bit flush! :D Got absolutely no money now until pay day though, literally not a penny in my purse, so that should be a nice challenge in itself :eek:

    Have a nice Saturday night everyone :beer:

  • Nowt for me today - the only cashpoint for miles around is out of action so I had to buy the few bits I needed today on debit card, grrr.

    I'll make up for it monday, having a girly lunch/wine/shopping/cinema afternoon that I'm sure will result in a LOT of change! ;)

    After a week of severe austerity I finally got to put another golden coin in my pot today. Bought sweets along with shopping on my card at shop for DD & she insisted on putting a coin in the pot as she has her pocket money for sweets. How lovely is that :heart:
