    5p roadkill whilst out shopping this afternoon - got a bit of a funny look from a young un - perhaps he'd just thrown it away - do I care - i'll let you decide.:D

    Then I went into HB and kindly donated 1p 'to pay the lady' and then snaffled a shiney 5p out of my DH's change - fair exchange I think :p:D

    £40 in the tin today that hubby was given at work it might be extra for going back last night, or it might be £10 extra for last night and his usual £30 desil money either way it has been decided that desil money will go in the pot because he gets it in cash and desil will go on the creditcard so i can use the quick pay pump and we can help our credit rating at the same time (not that it's bad but we wanna buy a house so anything we can do to help helps) i don't use alot of cash so my pot will be the above desil money and every month i will chnage £20 to £1 coins for the school snack money but most months i'll only use £16 so the rest can go in


    oh and i don't think bending a poundland tin trick would work for me because i'll be putting notes in

    do none of your worry about keepin cash in the house? i think because mines in a jar and you can see it i'm abit worried it might not be the safest option
