    Morning folks :D

    I haven't been keeping up with the thread but wanted to pop on and say that I took some change out of my pot last night to put it in the bank (I hate having money lying around the house) and have added £48 to my account! This goes on top of the £45 I took out of the pot earlier in the year when I lost my ipod and had to replace it.

    Thanks for the inspiration - I've updated my sig to show what I've already counted up :D

    Hi Everyone,

    Haven't been posting recently, but I am still saving in my sealed pot. Have no idea how much I have, but it feels very heavy, and I am keeping it till the end of the challenge if I possible can. Still getting the odd roadkill, and when I am cleaning and doing washing, it's finders keepers for the pot. I actually make quite a lot out of that! That's the payoff for doing the work.
    Inspired by the people on here, I have set up a dd with my credit union to try and get a bit more savings by the end of the year.

    A rather lovely funny shaped coin for me today (no I haven't taken an angle grinder to it before anyone asks :p ) - it's a fabulous 50p :j....
    It's an almost relaxing day for me :D, the kids seem to like each other today (hooray I hear you say - indeed). Woops spoke to soon :rotfl:; that's that 'sods law' I keep hearing about, or is it tempting fate :rotfl: :D :rotfl:...I don't know ;)
    It's okay ...the moment's passed...:p...and breath...:D
    Right I'm off, more Wallace and Gromit to watch lol :p.

    Hope you all have a good day potting :beer:.
