Hi everyone,
Hope all are enjoying the lovely sunshine!
Just a quick update, not had much to add in recently as when I have spent it has been on cards (budgeted though) so only a few coins added, however, have had a bit of a run on the road change.
Last week I seperately found £1 and 50p and 2p and 1p whilst walking the dogs round the various roads near us, then this morning at 7am I found a tenner on the side of the main road - bit of a route home from the pubs so am guessing someone a bit worse for wear may have dropped it on their way home. Had a good look round but there was definitely no one around who could have just dropped it, so that is a well needed bonus for my pot!Debt Free since Nov 11 (ish) (except the £118000 mortgage
) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

Tipped in £2.20 left from £70 shop today.0

£1.37 into the tub today (as well as £2+ yesterday that I forgot to declare
)
Not only being well behaved and keeping the change, but a whole 2p of that was street money, so I'm coining it in (yup, literally coining it in with two tiny coins)
Sod it, when I've got my house I can laugh about picking up pennies on the way.
Beautiful sunny day complete with a walk in the park, a visit to an architectural treasure, an ice cream cone and cheerful sunbathing cats - what more could I want?0 -

What more. Sounds like a good day to me.;) Pennies or not it will all add up to your shiny new house. Every little bit takes you one step closer. Happy saving.:DFootiemad:footie: 2013 - SPC no.1147...Keeep potting!!

Good Morning everyone
What a lovely sunny day it is too.
I forgot to put my pot on last night fed Rosie £1.32. Off to my borthers for sunday lunch today, so not sure if I will have anything to pot. Also started another pot for golden £2 coins for the holiday spends in Sept/Oct. 
Have a good day everyone and I will be back later to see what you have all been up to.
