    Did some baking yesterday, using up an old bread mix which was just cluttering the place up - saved 100p on my usual bread. :)

    Freeby, I'll be very careful what I do with that whole 1p from the other day!

    Maybe it will lead to that elusive pot of gold :j Is there a rainbow nearby :rotfl:

    I think the leprechauns have stolen the pot, sold the gold at a Cash for gold shop and are in the pub!!

    Good Morning :)

    862 pennies captured in the paypal account from ebay sales :j

    Not sold anything on ebay for ages and then sold 2 things at once. Just goes to show it pays to just keep relisting :)

    Have a great Friday x x

    20 pennies captured lurking under the sofa cushion. It pays to wash cushion covers every so often :)

    Found 6 cents sat on the sofa! (I suspect they fell out of DH's pocket as he was sat there but finders keepers!)
