    Well I have had a no spend week so not much at all into the pot (it's all in my bank still!). But as my year 7 class were on their way out this morning, one lad threw a load of loose change on the floor. I called him back but he said he didn't want it. So another 24p into my pot.

    Oops forgot to mention, nothing to pot today but got to the end of the week without going over my weekly budget for the first time this year! :j

    Well done janey! and thanks for the info regarding Flambards. I looked it up on the map and it does seem a little too far to go this time but I'll store it up for a future trip :)

    What is wrong with these children? My two little Grandchildren simply LOVE potting their pennies then counting them up and putting them into bank bags to pay into their BS accounts. Perhaps the lad in your class doesn't have MSE type parents...:D

    Hi

    2x £2 coins potted plus 5p road kill from yesterday.

    Also am chuffed to bits as I just finished food shopping for the month & am £59 under budget!!
    That's never happened before - I think I'll put it aside for just-in-case.

    Seriously though as long as it works :-)
