    Haha :D I have put every bit of change from my purse in the pot every day since I joined the challenge.

    Just banked pot number 3 contents as I don't want pots full of money just sitting around. Total for this year so far now £599.81 :j

    To be honest I'm glad I found that 20p! I get out £50 a week to 'live' on. Got it out on Friday and as yet haven't spent any of it. So I have no change in my purse at the mo'!

    Whatever is left next Friday however will go in the pot, so could be quite nice!:cool:
