    Cheers, I have added it into my sig. I have some lose change already in one that I have been saving over the last couple of months, not much. Is that allowed to count towards my total?

    Hello fellow potters!
    I have been sticking my coins in when I get them,,had no skim milk (for me) for 2 days just because I wouldnt spend my £2 coin!!!!
    I Hae managed to save £200! I really really am sooo pleased and proud that my first savings for our family did not seem to painful!
    Last nite we forgot to buy a ltto ticket so I went online and did it we never won but there was £1 still in my online acct with national lottery so I played a game and WON £6 woo hoo, I took £6 out my purse and put it straight in tin. I have another tin full of 5ps 2ps and 1ps, I cant lift it anymore its so heavy, not a clue how much is in it I will keep clunking them in until it is full.
    Right off to post my fleabay stuff sold 2 pairs of shoes and made £35 yipeee that money is staying in my paypal account for a bit,,until we need something ;-)
    Happy potting everyone !
