    Had a busy day at work which has meant quite a lot of small change being left lying around on the floors which has all made its way in to my work tin. :)

    Not posted on here in ages but have been potting my shrapnel in earnest, the jar is feeling quite heavy and am hoping to exceed last years amount

    any change left lurking in my purse goes in at end of the day

    I saw someone at the beach with a metal detector Hmmmmm has got me thinking as i have one in the garage barely used...Off to find instructions;)

    have a super savvy weekend

  • Morning..just thought i'd update as today i'm starting a new pot as the first one is full! :j
    I'm really pleased, this is my first time and i've been really good at sticking to my self promise of putting something in every day...usually £2 coins but also 1's and any spares at the end of the day.

    My teenage son has watched me excitedly adding every day......and he's now got a sealed pot too!

    Thanks to all who update and help keep me on track......can't wait to have a count up on opening day!! :T

    That's a great idea! I know someone with a metal detector who is 'potting' all the money he finds until it has paid for itself!

    Well, we finally plucked up the courage to visit a mortgage advisor. We weren't surprised to hear that OH can't get a mortgage at the moment due to his credit record but were very surprised to find out that I can get one in my own right! We just need to double our deposit first... so we are going to save like mad, we're so desperate to move out and OH is finally on board and saving too!

    35p in the pot this week. By the way, was it one of you lot that beat me to that 2p outside Mr Ts on Friday? I must be quicker next time!
