Unexpected £3.19 for holding piggy today - I'm particularly pleased as I've managed a NSD! My friend asked me to order something from ebay on my card and gave me the cash. Not quite straight into my lovely sealed pot - piggy will look after it until the weekend

Haybel - I agree that's a lovely idea. I started with the aim of having some extra cash at Christmas....your plan may make me reconsider *goes off to ponder* x

6p that I found in the bottom of my bag while hunting for lipstick...my bag is filled with so much rubbish :P

At the end of this week, I have put in the following pots:

£2 coins - £2.00
5p's - £0.50
Other - £4.49

So I am putting the grand sum of £6.99 in the pots.

Not quite the weekend I had planned....ended up spending it with my father who is very poorly with a severe chest infection...a lot of it about, but in a man of 91 it's a little worrying:(

He's on the mend thank goodness, so I'm home again and just potted another £1.60...:T

Have a great week all....happy potting:j

My poor pot has not been fed over the weekend as I've had no coins...

But I have been thinking about what I would like to do with the money - as Im planning to do this every year from now on...(hope the threads will continue with me) I am going to save up to take my daughter to lapland when she is a bit older maybe 5 or 6... She is 4 months old at the moment- so plenty of time to save for this expensive dream. Each year I will put my savings in a bond to ensure I dont touch them then when she is old enough I will hopefully proudly be able to pay in full with cash for a dream holiday and been teaching my daughter important financial lessons- i.e to save for something she really wants.

That's a fantastic idea! Your little one will be very very lucky

Evening all

Managed to pot £6.30 tonight I'd budgeted £5 for eldest sons new swimming shorts but his swimming teacher wanted an ecoegg, which I had spare in the cupboard so we did a trade and I potted the fiver

What's an ecoegg? i googled, is it the laundry thing?



£10.89 potted for me - £2.50 change after my sister nipped shop for me and 8.39 left over from my weekly money. I don't get paid until wednesday but if its not there i cant spend it lol.

I almost bought a very non mse car last night but someone got in whilst i was thinking if to be sensible or not i doubt i'll find another that perfect so i'm trying to see it as a blessing from a money saving view

Thank you. I think taking children would be a amazing and so exciting for them and us, especially whilst at the age of believing in santa... would be just magical... looked at prices on th*mas cook website... 3 nights with sleigh ride, meeting reindeer, meeting santa, husky ride half board is bout 1800 at todays prices for the three of us... so will be even more by time she old enough to appreciate but ive always wanted to go- and i'm sure she would never forget it.

Let me know what you decide.
