    Hi everybody,

    $8.00 in the pot for me tonight, I found it in the purse I have for petrol money and it's left over from last year, didn't realise I had it as it's the first time I've been into this purse since the New Year, happy day for me!!

    I know I'm a bit late with this one but could I join ? I tend to put my shrapnel into a jar when I remember but this is a great incentive to do it more often. I had my own little savings jar last year which was full of shiney coins, etc but my hubby started dipping into it to pay the window cleaner etc so I'm going to seal my box with leftover christmas wrapping paper to prevent him stealing !! My goal is to save 500.00 by Christmas :)

    Welcome to you too daisygogo
    Sue will be along later to allocate you a sealed pot challenge number too, so you are officially a member of our gang, so start potting your change :D

  • Morning all,
    Hope all is well. Not posted on here in a while.

    I've put around £13 in my pot over the weekend in lose change etc.
    I completely empty my wallet of change on a Sunday night because if it stayed there it would go on utter rubbish through the working week,choc bars,snacks,coffees etc.

    So it's better being saved:)
