    Can I join in please, Im (sort of) well behaved

    You should fit right in then, if your sort of well behaved :D (***winks at Footiemad and sparky***)...

    Anyway, I found a stash of cash in the kitchen today, nooo I tell a lie, it was more like a light spattering of multicloured coinage :D :rotfl: :D. I wonder where it's going then :p?

    Did anyone see that Superscrimpers on Channel 4 last night...she was giving away piggy banks...there was obviously none of us there, or else we would [STRIKE]haggling[/STRIKE] negotiating for one, for each denomination of coin (**for free piggy banks - of course we would**) :rotfl: ;) :rotfl:....

    Hope you all have a good day :j.

    I have just remembered I found x 2 1p's in road kill last night. Whoop! Whoop! :j:j

    How can someone get so excited over roadkill.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    One was lying between the tramlines, I saw it glistening as I looked down, but walked on, but then without a thought for the trams I turned back and bent down for a closer look and there it was winking at me, so popped it in my bag for safe keeping. I really cannot remember where I found the other one though. Scratches head.

    Anyway they are both safely tucked away. 2p for Rosie then so far today. :D

  • Im disappointed to say that I had to break into my pot last week as I had a big bill that needed paying :sad:

    But I have bought myself a shiny new pot which Im keeping especially for £1, £2 coin and notes. £10 added today to start me back off :)

    Have got another pot for any change under a pound that I wont be counting along the way as I would like it to be a surprise.

    Happy saving everyone!

    Btw I would have loved one of those big pink piggy banks too!
