    A grand total of £1.01 for me today :j...
    I have to share this with the group though...I had to go back to the drawing board today, with the 'grand design' :whistle:. There was a little accident today :D, it involved me, the pot, a balloon, and paper mache :p...it blew up on me didn't it :rotfl:, right when I was in front of it and it was covered in gloopy paper mache. I swear some shot past my face, it was everywhere (even on the fridge) :D:eek::eek::D. I've never heard the wife laugh like that before :D....
    It's okay though, onwards and upwards as they say in old black and white films...work has begun paper mache pot mark 2 :T. I think I'll use goggles this time, and stay at a safe distance; possibly even use long tongs to put the strips of paper on :D:rotfl::D.

    Hope you've all had a good coint tracking day :beer:.

    :hello:

    I saved 65p on my bus fair by pretending I was getting off a stop earlier when I paid (yes, I know that's cheeky and morally wrong- but I refuse to pay an extra 65p for the sake of literally 150 feet) so that's going in my pot. Also got a loaf of bread for 64p instead of £1.28 so will put the other 64p in as well meanings as I was buying the bread anyway.

    Hi everyone, and thanks for the welcome,

    As I said, had already got empty bottle with some coins in, counted it today and it had £18.10 in to my surprise!
    I have a habbit of putting the coins in my change in the bottom of my bag instead of purse, so have emptied it today, all coins 20p and under are going into my pot, so have another £2.09 to put in, off to a good start already!
