Four lovely 5ps from yesterday and an even better £10 lottery win last night all to be added to total. Trouble is I've lost track of what's gone in. :rotfl:
nu1isit? a crash helmet sounds a good idea, plus a straight jacket, leg irons and handcuffs! :rotfl: Hope dds are ok.
Got a nice thunderstorm going on at the moment, it's as dark as night here.
Keep warm and dry everyone.
Hugs to all who need one.S.P.C. 9 2016 No. 062 Banked £337.50

Planning to do mammoth pot when I am debt free, planning for this to happen by end of August.
Oh mumof3plusoh, so sorry to hear you were rained on sooo badly, it must have been such a downer for you all, especially the youngsters. I hope you still enjoyed yourselves.
All the best with your debt-free date coming to fruition!!
Another 80p in the pot this morning!
Going to have a count up at the end of each month to see what I have saved and think I am going to bank it so I can get a bit of interest on it. I know it won't be much but it all helps.
If I sell anything can I put that money in there? not that I have sold anything yet but you never know I have loads to get rid of.

Of course you can pop your sales money in your pot, Lucy and the banking each month is just fine...and every little DOES help!!! :grinheart£20 potted over the last 3 weeks plus £10 banked.
I'm so grateful for this site & thread, to think before January I just spent my loose change on ......... well, actually I have no idea
I'm amazed that that same loose change this year was saved and equals £140! What on earth was I doing with my money before?

I think someone would have something to say about the leg irons and handcuffs ModestyB :rotfl::p :rotfl:. But with a crash helmet she'd just look mental (especially after I paint flames up the sides :rotfl:), so not far from the truth
. Love her to bits, but she's got no fear :eek:, something gets in her head and she's doing it :eek:
:eek:. Maybe it'll be a trait, that'll be handy later in life

Another silvery coin from us today woo hoo :j....good times

Very embarrassing explaining that to nursery!!
