    Morning everyone
    Cold morning here in Liverpool. Managed to pot my usual £2 last night plus 3p tea room change intot the road change pot. It's the home stretch now another 4 days of 12 hour shifts, finish work Friday and return on the 3rd January. Then another (hopefully) stretch of overtime in the New Year.

  • Morning,

    Potted a couple of pounds (ish) yesterday .... I save mine in a tub and then pot every Sunday because I think if I potted every day I would have nothing left :o

    Hopefully the nights out over Christmas will mean a lot of potting :)

    Can't believe how fast it tots up .... I have 3 challenges going for 2012 and have a fair amount saved to what I normally would have frittered!! Also I am picking up peoples droppings and that adds in nicely :T

    Hello Everyone,

    Can I please be added to the list, love the idea of this, been trying to do it for years but always end up opening before I really need to so hoping that being included here will make all the difference. I'm living in France and BF and I are trying to pay off £10,000 debt this year before his 30th in September and after buying Christmas presents this year we have nothing left to get each other - never mind though hopefully next year our pot will give us some money to treat ourselves. I'm going to set a target of 250euros though please.

    Good Luck to Everyone

    Got excited and started looking for change in old handbags and BF's bedside drawer. He travels back to the UK a lot for work so think I'm going to have to have two pots. All the English change in one and euros in another, made a rule for myself for the euros though, only 10cents or smaller can go in everything else back in purse to try and be spent rather than breaking into notes.

    Totals so far:
    Pounds: £34.57
    Euros: 9.12euros

    Couldn't believe how much loose change BF had in his drawer will send him back with english money - get him to put it into UK joint account - will give us a little extra when we go back to visit together.
