I've changed up £10 that I had in my pot and swapped it for a £10 note, in the hope that I don't break my pot, and that I can have some change from my spending money to put into the pot. Have also separated everything into single pots for coppers, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2 is this a bit OCD or does anyone else do this? I was feeling my pot rattle and thought it such a shame should it smash from the coins, plus OH bought me it so only notes in there from now on.

Found another 2p whilst tidying room

Not quite that OCD but I do have 2 pots, one for £2/£1/50p's and the rest in the other.

Frivolous

Yey just found 5p in bottom of washing machine!:j

Keep a look out in the newsletter folks as I let Martin :money: know how well we'd done before Christmas as well as thanking him for the opportunity for us all to save, and he replied back to say he'd try to get it in there so I've given him the new Grand total

Grand Total of £42.271.99!!!:grinheart

Martin's words "Woo hoo sounds great, let me see if I can get it in the weekly email. "

Just dropped 20p on the floor in my office - eventually found it (just how do 20ps roll so far?!). Also found 50p - obviously been there a while as it was covered in floor fluff - not quite sure if it counts as roadkill but I've naughtily claimed it :j

Popped 20p back in the cash drawer...

That's an example of destiny and fate , every thing happens for a reason and that's the reason why the 20p rolled so far :T

Well peeps, nothing in the pot for me for a few days but I thought I'd better say 'hi' as this dry period could go on for a while

:T:T:T:T:T:T well done Sue and Sparky for making it into the weekly email.:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

Please can I join in? I need to get a pot, I was thinking an unopened soup tin which i could clean out and use.... We usually put our spare change in a jar for the groceries so might split it 50/50 to do this.. xx

Hi Sue,

I've just checked out the weekly email, and not only did your thread get a mention, it got a special mention. Not just in the Quick Forum Tips, but a heading all of it's own. Very well done.
