    Hi there sparky and it's so good to hear your throat is so much better! I hope you're feeling much better all through too? DW also?! :)

    Morning Sue
    Mrs Sparky is good thank you, managed to get rid of her loathed migraine, now she just has to put up with my coughing fits and sniffing. Hope you & your DH are fit & well

    I'd like to join this challenge and just going to say thanks for your post as my little one got given a present at nursery - its a tin with flying saucer sweets on outside and a money slot (a thin one) but no opening and I was thinking today how the heck am I going to open that so put it for charity shop....but now I am joining this and now that you have helpfully told me how I will eventually open it I will be fishing it back out and using it - thanks! My elder boy wants to make a papier mache Scooby Do out of his Scooby Annual so that could also become a sealed pot!

    Welcome victoriaplum1
    Sue will be along to allocate you a membership number later, so please start making your "Scooby Do" pot and read post 1 page 1 and enjoy saving :D

    £1.83 liberated from my DW's purse this morning on my way out to work, so I'll pot that later when I get home, plus I'll add my usual £2 to it.

    Wrap up well everyone, stay safe & keep saving

    Hi Everyone

    Finally reached the end of the thread.

    Glad you are feeling better Sparky

    I was on a roll yesterday. 8p roadkill found in three different places. It would've been more. I picked up 2p at a bar and there were more coins but they were in front of other people so I couldn't get those. Oh well. DH came back home a day early and gave me loads of change so that will go in the pot today.

    I have never found note roadkill. :( One day.............

    Excellent...it's freezing inside the house and freezing outside too :rotfl:....It's a Catch 22 situation. Shall we stay in, or go out? ......We're going out to the car boot, I've decided, I'm sure the kids will love me for it :D:p:D.

    A very shiny looking 50p for me today :D, woo hoo :T. I'm keeping my eyes peeled today, maybe there will be some serious roadkill out there, just waiting for me to sweep it up - with my welcoming, over eager hands :p.

    Have a happy day potting everyone :beer:.

    £1.83 today for me. starting to think might not get much as pay by debit card for most things, will have some change though as uni canteen only takes cash.

    I dont know how to do the info thingy at the bottom of the page???? HELP!!!!


    Hiya lisalollipop,

    to do a sig :

    - go to the 'User CP' button in the green bar above this thread & click
    - scroll down the left hand side until you find the 'edit signature' button & click
    - type in whatever you want & then submit/save

    You usually get about 5 lines & can arrange them how you like

    Hope that helps :)

    .....
    I received another £2 coin in my change yesterday - yet another reason why using cash rather than a CC is preferable :D

    £2 coins savings now = £62
