Do you really find all this money on the tea room floor?! Do you work with really rich or careless people?!

Really careless people who think if it falls on the floor it's not their's anymore by the looks of it, we've just taken on a lot of young lads who think change is an alien thing

Welcome ElmerFudd
Sue will be along soon to allocate you a number, so rear post 1 page 1, to see how we do things and start potting your coinage, enjoy the banter but most of all enjoy saving

£4.52 split between yesterday and today. I'm really loving the whole saving thing It is so much more fun than the paying off debt thing.

How about a "Sparky's Tea room sealed box" within the tea room so that customers may leave a penny if they so choose, educating the young and old as to how much you can actually save by potting the pennies over the year, Maybe a sign saying you will be opening the pot on a certain date near to xmas encouraging those to come to the sealed pot opening event and spread a little xmas cheer....

Teehee :rotfl:Thanks RedGoose, I just knew I could rely on you all to keep a secret!

Just bought milk for the weekend and a few bits I forgot during the 'big shop' so I'm potting the last of the food budget for the week an enormous 71p No more food money until Monday!

Happy potting folks and a big welcome to the Newbies <<hug>>

Hi Thriftkitten
I have a seperate pot for roadchange/tea room change etc, which I save over the year starting on April 1st. The money I find pays for the road tax, MoT & any remaining towards a tank of petrol for my Vespa PX 125 scooter, so effectively other people are paying to keep me on the road :T This will be my third year of doing this
