    76p crammed into my bulging tin today, wondering how much more I can force in there before I admit defeat and move on to hubbys abandoned tin!

    Another £2.00 for avoiding coffeebucks and having the free coffee at work. Wooo! I wonder how much my tin holds in £1 coins???

    I'd give it a shoogle test - entirely unscientific, but the lovely rattle of savings gives an instant boost ;)
    shoogle [ˈʃʊgəl] Dialect chiefly Scot
    vb
    to shake, sway, or rock back and forth
    n
    a rocking motion; shake
    [from dialectal shog, shug; apparently related to German schaukeln to shake]

    I haven't been on here for a while and I haven't put any money in my pot for a while. Put 22p in today

    About £3.50 into our pot today - and it's my weekend now :)

    Food shopping tomorrow and a few small purchases in town, so will no doubt acquire some more shrapnel.

    DRUM ROLL PLEASE...................
    I am about to empty my cat moneybox which I put 20p's into. I've been saving them since January especially for a girly trip to London to visit my friend and will be using the cash for clothes shopping and eating out!:j

    Will let you know how much there is later when it's been counted. Hope its over £20. Fingers crossed.
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!

    :wave: Hello everyone.

    Sooo tired :( should be in bed but just wanted to catch up with everyone. Well done on the potting folks, Sue will be proud of us. :D

    Fed Rosie £1.03 and 10p gym kill.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Did a little whoop whoop internally as I was at netball training and kicked it without realising. Look down and there it was looking at me saying pick me up, pick me up...so I dutifully obliged. Its been a while since I found anything. Well off now till next wednesday, booked tomorrow off so I can go see my sister. Some pennies will be spent, mainly on food shopping, but may treat myself to something small. :D

    Have a lovely day all.

    TTFN :)
