    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I enjoyed going to the Post Office yesterday with £300 in coins to go into my bank account ready to pay for my holiday =£150 plus £150 spending. They said providing it was going into my account they would take any amount, I kept back £53 in coins so since September 2010 a total of £353!!! I started throwing whatever coins I had in my pocket at the end of the day, and it has amazed me how much it has grown. Although it is my money it feels as though I am having a free holiday, so its something I am definitely going to continue doing. I think its brilliant I was also delighted there was no problem putting the cash into my account via the Post Office, it would have cost me approx. £24 using a Supermarket a change machine. I would just like to add as someone who has never saved using this method it really works
    Low Carb High Fat is the way forward I lost 80 lbs

    Since first using Martins I have saved thousands
  • Hi everyone - hope you are enjoying the sunshine and have your washing blowing on the line - no tumble driers needed today! I have added to my pot and now have £25 in total!
    take care

    Morning Sparky thanks for that, its just more to let you know that I am thinking of Sue. I know you will let us know as soon as, you have been fab. With Updates, keeping us in check and hunting for roadkill you are a very busy man.:p

    I wonder do you keep a total of all the road kill found by everyone that would be interesting to see how much people throw away for others to claim. ....just a thought with all your spread sheets...;)Not really looking to give you any more work..but I bet it would please some in your neck of the woods by keeping you busy from claiming their roadkill :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:LC2 springs to mind!!!!:p

    Catch you later.

    Welcome aboard the mad potters house Sukalor. Just keeping potting for now.:D Sparky is holding the fort for poor sue our leader who issues the numbers and when she is back you will get one.

    Sparky is her deputy and doing a grand job too at keeping us in line while she is out of action and will be along later to welcome you formally.:D

    Have fun potting and enjoy the ride, its fab on here.
