    Been on holiday for 3 weeks so not been able to put anything in for a few week and before then didn't have any change! but have put £1.45 from purse into big tin today :D

    Whilst on holiday managed to get a couple of nice sealed tins one of which already has a use, my passport needs renewing :(, so when i've got a £1 spare (anything after this first £1 will be going into big tin) it'll be going into the little tin, I'm certain I can get the £80 (roughly) i'll need towards passport in to it, and I managed to start it off with £2 already today :), will be opening it either when I need it or once it's full.

    Hi LucyToons

    Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Nice to see you didnt forget about your pots. ;)

    I don't know Footiemad....something tells me you could find mischief on a Desert Island :D :rotfl: :D.

    I'm glad Sue's on the mend...

    I was naughty yesterday, I bought a pre made sandwich, it was a saveloy, mustard and stuffing one (saveloy dip). Mmmmm...it was bad, but tasted sooo gooood :p:D:p. I felt guilty about it, when I thought about the fact, that the money could have went into the pot! But you can't be brilliant all the time. It's what I tell the lovely wife, but she just rolls her eyes...:D :rotfl: :D.

    32 lovely pence for the pot today....

    It's a :wave: from me..hope you all have a good day hunting :D.
