I tried this before but always end up raiding it! Hopefully this thread will keep me on the straight and narrow!
I used 80p in coupons at sainsburys so put that in my pot.

Start as soon as you like, Notimpressed as we always start the new thread the day after the old one finishes. We finish this one (SPC 5) on 29th November and SPC 6 (if there is one, of course!) will begin on the 30th November.
Well done on showing such restraint, b_e_g, you'll go far!
[/Quote=samtoby]Just been to do the shopping for my DM (Dear Mum, is that acceptable for an abrevation) as she is on crutches.
I have just found £19.37 in my car! I can not believe I have been driving around in a gold mine! All going in the pots.[/quote]
Was she not worthy of the DM status if she hadn't been on crutches then, samtoby???!! :shocked:Yes, DM is fine when referring to your Mum. You can't believe you'd been driving around in a gold mine? Me either!!! :rotfl:
Good to hear you money will be safe, inamin, all the best with it staying so.
So lovely to hear about your little darling, LC2A cuddle for me too, remember. :A

thanks Sue-UU for adding me to the challenge, hopefully this thread will keep my prying fingers out of the jar! I've tipped a load of coppers into it that I have had lying around the house and the 'modus operandi' for this challenge is to daily add anything under £1 that is in my purse at the end of the day. All proceeds go to next xmas!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and hope you have a lovely evening, whether it be curled up on the sofa or out at a party. We were planning to stay in, but popping over to a friends at 7pm who is doing fireworks for the kids. Will be popping some champagne when we get back though!!!:D0 -
