Have fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.
*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.
skea56 Did you mean you were saving £5 a week (£250) or £5 a day? No worry at all, but if you could just let me know in case your Target needs altering.

Great work, mommyof4.madvixen wrote:Is it cheating if I empty the various "copper" jars around the house into my sealed pot?
Absolutely not is the answer, madvixen.
Just coppers helps so much to create pounds, Hidden so keep it up.
There's absolutely no shame in 3p in a day, recurrent-ostrich, if it's money then it's pottable.
Hi Kerry, good for you with the cash.
Just 1p out of DH's pocket for our pot, only 99 more to make a pound!

He (Mr. Tumble) used to stay on top of the wardrobe overlooking the bed mudflower. I have to admit he looked a little freaky late at night, in a certain light with his grinning bright teeth.“Oh my giddy aunt gert, nu1isit?, what do you expect us gals to do with that image for a WHOLE year?!!!!”
Sorry Sue, I don’t think it’s a vision you’ll recover from....me and the pole dancing y fronts, that is. The wife's not looking forward to next Christmas now:rotfl:, but I am (***cue evil laughter***). Mwah ha ha ha :eek:
:eek:.
Right, on to serious things now. A lovely batch of 1ps and 2ps found so in the pot they went yesterday. The lovely wife, emptied the shrapnel from her purse into the jar today. Maybe it's some sort of bribe for me not to 'perform' next Christmas, or maybe it's an upfront tip/payment...

Not potted for a week due to an unfortunate (but unfortunately planned
) visit to hospital. Got out for Christmas but have only been as far as Gap-Parents' house since (about 5 minutes away). However, it means I have not spent any money for a week and so am able to add 8 £1 coins today to make up for it!
Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
