1. If you are walking with someone and you see small-fry roadkill, do you pick it up anyway or do just walk on by and dream about it....:o?

2. Last night i put my transparent coppers/5p jar in a prominent place in my house (ie visitors can't help but see it). Well, my brother stopped by and saw it and emptied his wallet into it saying he 'can't be arsed' with all the change :j. To be more precise my dd had fun putting all the coins into the slot.

1. Grabbit! Once you get used to the idea of just picking it up the perceived embarrassment goes away, After all someone else didn't want it so why shouldn't you have it instead? That said apparently I drive my OH mad when we're out together as I'm always looking at the floor not where I'm going.

2. Glad DD enjoyed herself getting her started early has got to be a good thing!

I know what you mean mumof3plusoh. It is great on here and it has inspired me to save. My amounts are small but to me they are a massive achievement. A penny in the pot is a penny extra for me!!! I hope that I continue over the coming years.:j

2 x £2 coins into the pot today as the 99p shop and wilkinsons both thought I needed one (and hw right they were!!) and 14p in shrapnel oooo its such a heavy pot

Annnnnnd I now have my new tin ready for the 2nd Dec which is twice as fat as this years ones and I have told DH that it must be full to the brim with £1 coins by next 1st Dec as he will be getting his contract at christmas so will be on lots more money

Ive also just paid £6 for a tea flask for him so he will no longer have to take £1 a day to work for tea so I think on work days that £1 should go in the new tin too :j :j

OMG!!!! so much talk of opening pots I had to go weigh mine!! shrapnel pot is 3.6kg and £1 coin pot is 2.7kg :eek: now im even more excited about opening them!! 'only 16 days to go, only 16 days to go, only 16 days to go, only 16 days to go' . . .

Hello everyone
My usual £2 plus a lot of smaller change into the sealed pot, 50p into the Chicago & New York spending fund pot. Ihave my new pot ready for SPC5 on the 2nd December it's another one from B&M's that you8 need a tin opener to get into. It's the same as this year's pot which is almost full to the top.

On the question of road change when you're out with someone, just push them out of the way first, so you can get to it before they do :rotfl:, 1p tea room floor change on the way into work for me.

I've also been keeping a secret, I've tried putting £1 a day away for almost a year now and counted it today I have £358 saved in that pot! :T So with the 2 lots of £2 & 50p coins banked so far this year I will be declaring £1365.00 plus whatever is in the sealed pot as my total for this year. :j. Hopefully the sealed pot will have more than I saved last year (See signature)

Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving

VERY well done, e4rub!!!!! :T Cosidering how long you've been
Saving, you really should be pleased with yourself. BTW, I'll pop the new Target on the new thread, I've written I down already.

You're welcome Cherryjack and thanks a lot for sorting your No on your signature.

Hi there curly, good to see you! By the way, you've done pretty well already with what you have on your sig. Keep it up though and you'll soon be rich.:D

Oh dear Bublin, you have so much to learn as it's an absolute SPC sin NOT to pick it up!! :shocked: As scuba points out, you'll soon get passed any embarrassment after you've picked a few up. Put it this way...why leave it for someone else to benefit from when it's thrown by the Angel's......for YOU!!! :AAlso, it's amazing, if you're fortunate, just how much you can save via the pavements, outside shops, car parks and kiddies playgrounds! Our sparky does the rounds of the lot when he's not doing over-time! If you live in the Liverpool area, you've had it - or rather sparky has!!! :rotfl:

I'm not saying he grabs every little bit, but he does wear.....magnets on the souls of his shoes! :rotfl::rotfl:

Are you moving again then, scuba? What's up - not enough roadkill there!

Brilliant Lost, by the way, where've you been? Don't say you lived up to your name?! :grinheart

"walk away from the pot" indeed, mumof3plusoh!!!! What's think it is - 1st December????? :eek: Think of it as a ticking time bomb and keep well away and never approach again til the right day!!!

Yep, won't be long now, jakes-mum, hands off til then or your excitement will all be gone.

Splendid news on your £358 after saving a £1 a day, sparky!!! :T I'll be so very interested in seeing your Total this year. Surprising what you can do when you try.

Very well done on keeping stashing the cash everyone, don't stop yet though as it's amazing what you can still go on saving even if in only a little while.

Another £2 in the pot for me today.

Have a lovely evening everyone and a great day tomorrow.

The woman was counting a heap of five and ten pence coins out on the kitchen table when she suddenly got very angry and started shouting and crying for no reason. I thought to myself, "She's going through the change."

Be very careful ladies of the SPC :grinheart

Local Police hunting the 'knitting needle nutter' who has stabbed six

people in the !!!! in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker could be

following some kind of pattern.

Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the

head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service.

An Asian fellow has moved in next door. He has travelled the world, swum with sharks, wrestled bears and climbed the highest mountain. It came as no surprise to learn his name was Bindair Dundat.

Put in another £1 today.

Sue promise not to touch the pot only to put more money in!:D

Sparky what a fantastic amount that is amazing. I started a £1 a day pot in Aug this year and just counted it before I came on here, I have £100 whoop whoop.:T:T:T
e4rub you know what they say "every penny counts", very well done.;)
scubaangel have you counted up yet????

Well done everyone, may just go and weigh my tin
