    I could come and help you look through all your coat pockets if you like. :rotfl:

    :rotfl:No such luck!! Never keep any cash in coat pockets just chucked in loose to various bags. (I have a serious handbag problem and change them on a daily basis).

    Things will now be slow going now on as I have exhausted the bags :(

    Did find £1.05 in the car so have added it to my pot.

    Hi all!

    My token £1 in the pot this morning. Plus have sold 2 wii games on Amazon overnight for a total of £22.78 (after fees and postage) so that'll be going in the pot when I get it through! :D

    Another NSD day for me today - slept in as I'm on a night shift tonight (overtime so more monies!). Made homemade soup and bread for lunch, with enough to take to work tonight too.

    Cha-ching!

    Edited to add: I've decided to take up the idea of the "virtual sealed pot" from my save the change account - as it'll be tricky to withdraw a few £ a month. I'll also put all "extra earnings" except my normal overtime in there (normal overtime is going into overpayments on my loan) such as surveys, amazon sales etc. Then I'll withdraw it when there's a decent sum, maybe every 6 months, to put in my pot.

    Just visited the utility room to iron my shirt for tonight and discovered 25p in the washing machine (is it weird that I automatically check inside it every time I go in there?) so popped it in to my bottle.

    Morning everyone,
    Working overtime today, so that's money towards our trip to Poland next year :j. Not very nice weather here today, I hate the rain :mad:!

    Keep up the good work with your saving everyone. :T

    DW came home yesterday and volunteered 36p in change for the sealed pot :j (no I didn't turn her upside down or rifle her purse or pockets, that's not my nature :A)

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe and keep saving :D

    Hi Sparky
    Where about in Poland are you going on holiday next year?
    It is such a great country, I go at least once every year although this year I went twice to new cities there.
