    Happy birthday to your little 'un jakes-mum :). Congrats to Nana Skilly too :D :T. Just 10p for my hungry tin today. I'll be back at work tomorrow so hoping to top-up with some roadkill :D.

    Hi everyone! :wave:

    I've had a lovely payday - Starbucks, M&S sandwich for lunch, cheap cinema, ice cream!, new make up and toiletries and new work trousers. But the best thing is I had lots of lovely change at the end of it to pot :j

    I couldn't find my ceramic 2p money box, not sure what moving box it is in, but I did find my big orange jelly baby so I shall use him for coppers in the meantime! (unfortunately he had an accident many years ago when I lived at home and he FELL out of my bedroom window... by the time I got down to rescue him, Beau, one of our alsations at the time, had already got him :eek: so he has a bit of a chewed head, but apart from that is perfectly servicable!!!)

    In total today I have potted £2.28 - £2.10 in silvers and 18p in coppers :T

    Thanks for the exam wishes all :) ... 1 down 2 to go!
    Was really annoyed about the parking malarky! £1 for 4 hours or £2 for all day. Had to pay the extra pound for FIVE MINUTES grrr. Damn me being early!
    My purse is feeling quite heavy with change now though... and OH treated me to fish and chips last night AND gave me his change so think I've managed to make up for my previous theft :p

    Hope you're all well... back to work today for me and then another exam tomorrow! Roll on next Tuesday
