    Afternoon Everybody

    Now I have a problem. Last night DH had 2 pints:eek: So was a little tipsy!! He doesn't drink usually so 2 pints is a lot for him :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well when he went to bed there on his chair was all the change out of his pocket about £4 of course I moved it to my table with my knitting on, Now the thing is he hasn't missed it. Would it be really wrong to put it in my pot ? after all he will benefit from it.

    No it will be fine luckycharlie :D
    as legally it has been abandoned so you put it in your pot :D

    Hi Everyone

    It's in my pot now and he hasn't even missed it :eek:

    This must mean he is allowed too much money will have to rectify this .

    Went to home bargains and got another £2 coin, So have added that as well.

    My GS's Elves came today and they were soo excited. See thread on here about them (not ours other peoples:rotfl::rotfl:)

    They brought little elf slippers for the GS's They are sooo cute.

    Not sure who was most excited the children or their parents!!

    I'm waiting for my OH to get home so I can raid his wallet for loose change :j

    Have been putting the odd note in my sealed pot - I'm hoping there is a spare note I can nab too !

    Hey all. My first post on this challenge!

    I have had an un-official money pot for several years... I decided today to empty, count it and get this years new pot ready. I have £9 in 2ps and 1ps that I need to take to the bank!!!

    In this pot as a starting total I have £4.66!!! This is in silver and £1 coins and is the basis for which to start the new challenge on! My number is 1447 btw!!!

    I'm hoping by the end of 2012 to have enough to pay for a holiday in 2013!! My last holiday was in 2009 as I've had no one to go with and no pennies either!

    Wishing everyone good luck! :j

    Thanks Sue,

    My name isn't Branson, more like Branston, as I find myself in a pickle! :rotfl::D

    I'll sort my sig at Start of New Year with my number, and add a start figure when I get my tin
