Morning all.

£1 which I found in DH's coat pocket - from the shopping trolley yesterday I assume.

Went into town yesterday to open a new savings account so that come next December I have somewhere to put my savings - this years money I used for a holiday but I want to save this years bounty (and the years to come)

Morning 10p mysteriously appeared on the sofa this morning, so it was promptly dispatched to the pot

Got bored so counted up my piggy banks - got £102 so far, including £80 in £2, still keeping it until November 2012 but needed the space for more coins.

Hello all!

I'd like to join too please - I'm a newbie so I need a number please!

I taped up two Dolmio jars yesterday that my hubby has cut a moneybox type slot in the top of to use for 2012.

I filled more than one this year - maybe I'll hit three next year!!

The two for this year yielded a total of £76.52 which, considering it was roadkill and quite literally PENNIES and small shrapnel (nothing bigger than a 5p) from my purse, is pretty good.

Plan is to put SOMETHING in there every day in 2012.

As we have many other moneysaving plans for 2012 I'm hoping we'll have a much better haul come November but I don't want to set a target just yet.

Good luck everyone!

Also, I post quite randomly so may go missing on and off (work, twin 3.5 year olds etc...) but I'm with you all in spirit!!

*Please pop your number on your sig.

Good to see you, Lost.

Morning nanto3girls, maybe you'll do better today, hope so.

Wel done with re-homing DH's £1, DorsetGirl. An excellent idea with the savings account.

That's the way to do it, Gumpf, happy saving!

So, what are you doing with what you've saved, Chocolatedrinker..popping it in the bank? Ifso, could you pop the amount saved on your sig so it's not forgotten (as if!).

Lucky kiddies, jakes-mum, though I guess you'll miss them. They don't already have scarves or wellies?

Yes ill miss them terribly, especially Miss Lily, my little shadow Im used to Jake going down there on his own but this is Lilys first time and im now having images of my sister ringing me saying Lily has been kidnapped or run over :eek::eek: Not sure why I think just because Lily is not yet 4 that this means she is likely to be mislaid by her Auntie:o

I live in east anglia, the flattest area in the entire world, we rarely get snow or really bitter winds. Trying to get Jake 'im to cool for coats' to wear a scarf is a losing battle so I gave up (he'll wear on for his auntie though :mad:) and Lily just runsa way when I try with her
Lily did have wellies but they are too small now and Jake again is too 'cool' for such footwear :rotfl:

Arf'noon everyone,

Got a bargain today - a big pot of L'occitaine hand cream which normally retails for about £18 for.........................50p!!!! in my local charity shop. But I did take some clothes there so it was a fair exchange really. Mind you, who would pay £18 for a pot of hand cream?!:shocked:
Also a big fat £2 coin potted.

Oops x
