    Morning everyone
    Still potting my usual £2 into the pot, also found 36p in change while walking the dog. No luck on that Bl**dy lotto, I couldn't win an argument.


    this made me laugh out loud :beer:

    DD raided my whisky jar for £3 this morning as she'd lost her bus pass and thought she'd have to pay for the public bus.. fortunately she was allowed on but has only returned £2 because she "bought a drink" at school! :mad: I'm trying to add at least 1x £1 coin each week to this whisky jar so I have at least £52 by the end of the year. I also collect 20p coins in my cat moneybox and £2 coins in my puffin moneybox. All other coins go into a large glass jar which is filling nicely.
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!

    Hi everyone,

    I know it's very late in the day but would it be ok if I joined in too? I'm a really long time lurker and have a sealed pot on the go already but decided it was high time I started joining in the forums properly if I'm ever going to shift this debt!

    Thanks x
