    Opened my jail today and counted 1710000 pennies (is that right it was £171) well chuffed. Will go towards the holiday. X

    I think you might mean 17100 pennies, unless you saved £17,100 and in that case I wanna know your secret :rotfl:

    2 big shiny 200 penny Godfathers imprisoned today!!

    I think the search is only going to happen in the house today, snow is providing too much camouflage for those pesky outdoor pennies!
  • 90 pennies liberated from daily purse clear out!! xx

  • Hi all
    Managed to squeeze 5 pennies out of my OH as he had a birthday card off me to give to his sister. They cost me 10p each so I told him he could have "mates rates":rotfl:
    Best wishes and wrap up warm
