    Morning everyone
    Welcome to our newest members enjoy the banter & enjoy saving but don't get led astray by LC2 & Jake's Mum they're trouble them two I tell's ya

    Another 16p of tea room floor change into the road change pot, which I'm going to have to empty as it's rammed to the brim. Thanks to all the people who discard their change.

    Strangely enough, I haven't had any change for a couple of days, so I'll have to make that up once I get some, my poor sealed pot is feeling neglected.

    Wrap up well today folks that wind is biting

  • Morning,

    12p added to the demi-john for me this morning.

    I think I will count up what is in there so that I have a total going forwards.

    Have a good day everyone x

  • Morning all,

    DS gave me some change from his dinner money £1 in the pot so far. He also gave me 10p that his friend gave him because he didn't want it! Bless him he knows that we will always accept unwanted coins.

    Also usual £2 going in.

    Wrap up warm as very cold and raining heavily. Snow will be long gone within the hour :(

    A very warm welcome, pumpkinsoup and Chocolatedrinker, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Have great fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.

    Many congratulations on your Great Grandson, LC 2, all the best to him and his Mum & Dad!

    Our new Grand Total is £40,233.14 due to ellionic's Total being declared!! Still time for it to go higher so I'll let you know as and when any others declare.

    It's good to see you here and starting off saving again, ellionic.

    mumof3plusoh, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall watching them all, to my mind it's the making of Christmas. Pleased to hear you thoroughly enjoyed the pantomime too.

    As the girls have said, bridgetkate, notes are perfectly fine to put in with your cash, it's all savings.

    I'm pleased you sound happy with your decision, mcjordi, it's made a lovely lot for your pot!!! :j

    It sounds as though you had a wonderful time in Prague, keepcalmanddrinktea, good to hear.

    You have to be right about getting the £2s back in circulation after
    SPC4 was cashed in, Stressed, funny they're all where you live though! ;)

    I'm noticing, ETO, good for you. The cash will come.

    Lucky you with the snow, Oops, though not so much when it freezes!

    Brilliant news with the cash back, supasick.

    A splendid start, Kingj.

    Enjoy the day folks, if you can save do so, if not look ahead to when you can.
