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 pocketAlso 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.
I've put £3.51 in today, was feeling a bit flush!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:

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 that0
