    Evening everyone
    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 Sue :p and 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..not :p Chinese 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. :D:j

    Back soon. ;)

    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' :D 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 :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.


    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.:D

    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: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 pot :D
