    Mr E has £11 in his pot so far, he WAS beating me but I have 2-3 in my pot and a tenner uncashed from a survey. Gonna keep it in there as long as I can!

    Hi LC 2, for the 2nd year Stunty has been missing, he's also not answered PMs from both sparky and myself. A great shame, but nothing else we can do. :(

    That is a shame. I do hope he is okay. Anyone in the area to volunteer to question all policemen until they find him???

    Just nabbed a rather dull looking 1p from Spitalfields market, got an odd look as I wasn't buying anything from where it was perched, but still mine all mine :)

    Happy potting everyone

    What an excellentissimo total!!!
    Well done, all and sundry.
    I got a brand new shiny £2 coin in my change today and also one of those brand new £50 notes in my wages. It was a toss up which one went into the pot. Needless to say the coin won.
    I checked my face, Sue, and you're right, it is old :( (but friendly too, I think);)

    Well done all of you - I am so pleased to be part of the 2012 challenge. I half want to open my tin and check how much is there already lol (dont worry Sue I wont ;))

    £1.60 gone in today - been sitting a few days in my purse now so obviously not needed and will only end up in vending machine if I dont throw it in the pot :D

    Well done all, that's a fantastic total. Here's a :beer: to you all.
    I went to Mr S today to stock up on milk and coffee but paid on my DC so no change BUT, as I took my trolley back, I saw the trolley at the front still had the £1 in it so that is now in the pot telling all the others about how it's previous owner abandoned it. What's strange is that there was another trolley plugged into that one. Are people really so blind? :huh:
