    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 :o) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

    £1.37 into the tub today (as well as £2+ yesterday that I forgot to declare :D)

    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) :o 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?

    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.:D
