    I changed up £15 of my sealed pot coins yesterday (mostly £1 + £2) as I don't want loads of coins round the place, so shoved 3 £5 notes into my terramundi :) this way if I don't spend the coins by the end of the week they go back in the pot :D

    Well done Sparky and your lady wife- that's amazing (always good to stick it to a lender so they can't get any more interest out of you :j)!

    Princely sum of £30 banked. Coffee savings carrying on and will go to the gym tonight so I can pot some more (who'd have thought that paying myself to go to the gym would prove such an incentive? I really am mercenary :eek:).
