Coinage popped into my sealed pot, 20p road change while walking the dog. Looking forward to the weekend and getting out and about in Liverpool city centre/Albert dock on the scooter, suppopsed to be a scorcher, I hope so! Everyone's doing well with their saving, anybody thinking about counting their's, "Put the pot down, and step away" Or I'll snitch on you to Sueand we'll come round to your home when she's better and give you a Chinese burn, you've been warned
Sparky making threats I see...oooh I'm really scared..notChinese burn indeed.
I was so tired last night,I have had a busy couple of days at work, so glad I am off now for a rest. Half asleep now as I tap away zzzzzzzz! As a result didn't pot last night and haven't checked the old purse yet. Will do shortly if I can be bothered to get up off the sofa.
Sun and more sun thats what we like to make us feel good.:j

Moved 75p from the bowl to the sealed jar yesterday (well, old washing powder tab box - reduce, re-use, recycle and all that
)
Also found a penny in the street and was sadly pleased at the fact. Must be because I'm in Scotland, but I never seem to find much 'street money'Some of the American personal finance blogs I read make it sound so plentiful that I'm thinking folk in the States just go around chucking handfuls of change on the ground!

I don't know Footiemad....something tells me you could find mischief on a Desert Island
:rotfl:
.
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. 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:
.
32 lovely pence for the pot today....
It's a :wave: from me..hope you all have a good day hunting.
You were naughty, just the one day nu1isit? Why don't I believe you:rotfl::rotfl::p As for me and mischief!!! I do my best to behave but sometimes it just gets the better of me:rotfl::rotfl:
Thanks for sharing the joys of a saveloy with us all.:DFootiemad:footie: 2013 - SPC no.1147...Keeep potting!!

HI everyone!
Haven't been on here for a while, change is a bit thin on the ground recently but I reckon I've put at least £2 in change in there including 1p roadkill from Lid!s the other week (is it really that long ago I posted??:o)
Think I'm going to try and have a clear up around the house over the weekend and round up any stray pennies and feed them to the pot0
