    Have you tried one of those tool things that people use to crack open paint pots with? I hope mine isn't the same come 1st December - please don't say you have a spongebob tin!

    I'm visiting a friend this weekend who's a bit of a DIY buff so I'll take it with me and see what we can do with his bits and pieces.

    Mine's a plain white tin from the poundshop with a picture of a fiver on it! Think I'd have preferred Spongebob though!!!

    Oh no that sounds just like the one I've got. OH will have to open it on 1st Dec then.

    Had a great day at Trafford centre today. I was impressed with my money saving skills. In boots bought something to get my £5 voucher off No 7. Saw that someone had made 2 separate transactions on another thread so thought I would do that and I got 2 vouchers! Bought 2 items that came to £22.50, needed to spend £22 to receive a free gift. I used my £5 voucher so only cost me £17.50! To top that off I was given another £5 voucher!

    Then I bought another lipstick for £10 and again used my £5 voucher and got another £5 voucher back. It is also 10 points for a £1 spend.

    Before joining on here and reading loads of threads I would not have thought to do that.

    Enough waffle.....and feeling slightly chuffed with myself am putting £10 in the pot that I saved. yay :T:T:T:T

    must point out that did need the items that I bought to get the vouchers in the first place. Make up items were a little treat for myself and DD1! :rotfl:

    Oh no!! My one's the same design except a little skinnier, I actually had the £5 one in my hand until I got to the till and saw Spongebob. I hope my tin opening skills can crack it, sadly I struggle to open a tin of spaghetti hoops let alone a money tin!
    Thank you competition posters!
