I'm so going to have to resist the temptation to tweezer any pennies out, (obviously just to count them) maybe i should have kept a running total. i am so rubbish at this challenge i think it may have been my dowfall before.

I tried incredibly hard to get some change out last year but couldn't! As a kid i was a dab hand at it! I even ad a job to open it offically. 2 tin openers, pair of scissors and a sharp knife - but i won in the end haha:rotfl:0 -
Hello Sue-UU,
Yes, I'm up for the challenge for another year. It's second nature now really - though I don't have quite as much spare change since I've been paying towards DH's nursing home fees - but every little helps!
(Thank you for asking after him by the way - he's about the same thanks.)
Hope you are OK, also all the other "potters"!Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -
