  • My mum kindly offered to let me have the change from her purse for my pot again. I was given a 1p advance and then was let loose on her purse this evening....clearly I've raided it too often, there was only one other penny in there!

    So 2p total in pot today. I think I'll also add in my 10p change to make it just that little bit heavier.
    Thank you competition posters!

    I did slack a little bit in the middle of the year, so I am even more determined to get even more next year!

    And I am AWAY for work all day tomorrow from early morning until late evening, but I'm going to wait until I get home to open my pot. :j

    If I'm just too tired to do it I might hold off until Friday, I'll have to see how late I get home.

    Good luck everyone tomorrow, have a lovely time counting all your lovely loot, can't wait to count mine. :j
